HUMBOLDT - Humboldt Community School District officials are making a big push in the month of February toward meeting their goal to raise $1 million to make improvements and up-grades to R. Wesley Carlson Auditorium at the high school.
Last week Hog Slat, Inc., of Humboldt donated $50,000 toward the project, which is halfway toward its goal. Community members can purchase a seat for $600, or donate any other amount to provide improvements to the facility, which opened in 1981 and is named after the late R. Wesley Carlson, long-time and respected school superintendent. The auditorium, which opened in 1981, is in need of improvements and upgrades.
Kerry Burmeister, Controller at Hog Slat, Inc., presented the donation to auditorium committee fundraising committee members Tiffany Nelson and Father Tom Hart. Burmeister, a member of Humboldt Community Chorus, which performed last weekend in the auditorium, says the facility hosts many community events 12 months a year.
