Help required!! Please help our committee if you have some free time this Thursday afternoon. We need extra hands to dismantle grandstand and move back to its location, put the catch fence back into place, shift the stairs so we can get the track back in shape after bullriding. Thank you in advance. Comment below if you can help us out. Thanks
