The Perdue Arena was destroyed by fire in May 2015
Perdue Arena Rebuild Project
O
n May 23, 2015, the Perdue Arena was completely destroyed by fire. Since that time, the Perdue Arena Rebuild Project has been formed. The building committee is doing a great job and groundwork is already completed for the new arena, located North of the Rec Complex. The exterior shell should be up by October of this year. Our community is very excited that the rebuilding process has begun. Our fundraising committee has also been hard at work planning fundraising events such as a Ladies Night Out
on August 6 and a donation drive. They are also working with the Perdue Community Agricultural Project (PCAP). It is an agricultural based fundraiser through which businesses and individuals help by donating products and/or services to help grow a crop. Funds from the sale of this crop go to a local charity or project like the Perdue Arena Rebuild. To date the rebuild project has raised $1,035,970, which includes the insurance proceeds from fire that destroyed the old arena.
With support from the people and volunteers of Perdue and surrounding area, our dream is becoming a reality... “ONE RAFTER AT A TIME” Visit the Village of Perdue website and Perdue Arena Rebuild Facebook Page for more info and pictures. Submitted by Vivian Eaton Perdue Arena Rebuild Committee
