Tranels Donate 1500 bushels of corn (~$6,000) to New Event Center at Legion Park

The Legion Park Event Center committee is pleased to announce that Myron and Sheila Tranel are donating 1500 bushels of corn (~$6,000) for the construction of the new event center.  Myron noted, “We have spent our lifetime farming and supporting farming through our real estate and other businesses.  This very much needed event center is an opportunity to give back while paying tribute to our agricultural friends and neighbors.”

Commenting on the gift, Vince Graney, LPEC development committee chair, said “We are particularly appreciative of this gift from the Tranels that recognizes the significant influence that agriculture plays in our local economy.  What a tremendous investment in the future of our community.  We know that the proposed year-round event center will be used not only for special events like Dairy Days and Berry Fest but also by families, clubs and organizations.  We are excited by the response to this initiative to significantly improve one of the most used parks and facilities in Platteville.”
