The Christian County YMCA set off with their Capital Campaign Fundraiser with a goal of just over $1.4 million dollars to bring much-needed renovations and updates to just about every facility of the building. The new athletic flooring is in place, paint is being applied and equipment is beginning to return to its original home. The grand re-opening of the CC YMCA is set for Saturday, October 12th, from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. with a host of activities and entertainment to view.
Bruce Blanshan, Executive Director of the CC YMCA says they are about $100,000 from reaching their capital campaign goal and describes some of the changes the public will soon see.
The day of the grand opening will see volleyball matches run by Julie Solliday, the Battle of the Badges basketball game between Taylorville Police and Fire, and a pickleball tournament where the YMCA hopes to have surrounding communities represent their own town.
The pool reopening is expected for the week of October 7th. Blanshan speaks on the updates to the locker rooms, HVAC system, and overall aesthetic that will take over the aquatic center.
