The new auditorium will feature seating for 863 and a design that complements the Algona High School building. A new parking lot adjacent to the structure contains 250 additional parking spaces.


The Algona Community School District will serve as administrator of the performing arts center, re- sponsible for scheduling and coordinating events. The first event planned for the new auditorium is a combined Algona High School and Bishop Gar- rigan High School combined band concert. “The music teachers are anxiously awaiting the comple-


tion of this new facility,” said Wilcox. The audito- rium is on target to be completed in November.


Wilcox looks forward to watching his grandchil- dren perform in the new auditorium. “I’m tickled that two of my grandchildren will get to use the auditorium before they graduate.”


He added, “Algona is a nice, progressive commu- nity. I am hopeful that adding new venues like the performing arts center will help it stay that way for many years to come.”
