Stickerville Bath/Shower Project

Donations & Pledges now being accepted, please see forms below.

HOW DID THIS COME ABOUT?

In the past few years, many changes have led us to consider developing more long term self-sufficiency for Stickerville; the exorbitant and increasing costs of renting portable toilets, the uncertainties of the fiddle contest attendance, the exclusion of campers from the high school fields, and the increase of both families and elders in our community. Building our own toilet and shower rooms creates a long term, cost effective solution to ever increasing rental costs and reduces our vulnerability to changing circumstances in the surrounding community and businesses. And, it makes it more likely that our elders will be able to keep coming to Weiser, while new folks can come and fall in love with this remarkable and singular cultural event for generations. 

A bathroom committee from our membership formed, we developed a program, researched all sorts of ideas, evaluated options and recommended to the board and membership at large that we build a simple building to code that is designed to meet our needs. (We thank Mark Snyder, architect, musician and Weiser devotee, for donating his time and expertise to help us clarify our program needs and design this for us.) 

WHAT STAGE ARE WE IN? 

Jeff Fereday and Becky Smith are our ‘local’ folks to find and work with a local contractor and they have begun this process. We got a couple rough estimates from local contractors to help us understand the likely scope of the proposed facility. Members of the committee are just beginning the fundraising work. We would be delighted to build this spring, but, realistically, expect the facilities for 2027 completion. We have a lot of money to raise before we can sign a contract. 

Do you love and value the depth and warmth of the cultural and personal experiences atStickerville? Believe in the educational value of the formal and informal learning taking place at all hours? Please consider joining our fundraising efforts and invest in thisbathhouse and the future of Stickerville.
