When it comes to maximizing space effectively, someone needs to give an award to Tom Zeisig of the Whitley County 4-H Fairgrounds.
Since the fairgrounds storage fundraiser commenced for the year in October, Zeisig has managed to carefully and efficiently squeeze a vast number of RVs, boats, sports cars and other items inside the barns on the Whitley County fairgrounds property. Each vehicle stored equals more funds raised for the Whitley County 4-H program and Zeizig continues to see local as well as out-of-county residents putting there items in storage here. Why? Because it’s cost effective, secure and people feel great about supporting the local 4-H program.
“Things are still trickling in,” Zeisig said.
Now that the first snow has fallen, Zeisig said he expects to see a bit of a surge in residents putting their items in storage – particularly vehicles that owners don’t want covered in salt. So, he’s planning to set aside the morning of Saturday, November 22 to help residents put their items in storage.
“I will be down there from 8 a.m. to noon or longer if needed,” Zeisig said. “Or any time by appointment – I’ll work with them.”
Storage is 75 cents per square foot for short term storage ending March 14 and $1 per square foot for long term storage ending May 16, 2009.
