Local fabricator offers anti‑theft fire rings; committee to consider sponsorship option

Merrill Fairgrounds Committee · September 3, 2026

Summary

A vendor (Fillmore Fabricating) has proposed anti‑theft fire rings with built-in grills and custom emblems; the committee discussed sponsorship as a cost‑offset and asked for more details and quotes to evaluate a purchase.

Committee member (S3) reported that Jeff Fillmore (through Fillmore Fabricating) offered to present fire-ring designs that include grills and anti‑theft features. S3 said Fillmore "has fire rings that he designed that he would like to present or have me present to you guys at some point," and indicated the maker can add emblems or sponsor markings.

Ally (S4) said she is working to determine the fairgrounds' budget and would welcome quoted sizes and prices from the fabricator but noted limited funds; S3 suggested sponsorship could help underwrite purchases and allow custom branding on rings. The committee asked staff to collect quotes and further details for a future discussion.
