Efforts to make improvements at the Ainsworth Opera House are continuing. There will be a fundraiser coming up on Sunday, October 11th, when the Iowa Accordion Club will perform during  a meal. The event begins at noon.

Sherrie Hazen, organizer of the fundraiser says this event, along with others, raise money to provide matching funds for grants the building may receive. Hazen said they have recently received grants to purchase new cupboards along with window coverings. The window coverings will help  protect historical documents inside the building.

The Ainsworth Opera House is celebrating it’s centennial year.
