Topper, PA Fish and Boat Commission to Celebrate Completion of Meadow Grounds Lake Dam Rehabilitation Project
April 29, 2021
WHAT: Rep. Jesse Topper (R-Bedford/Franklin/Fulton) will be joined by Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission Executive Director Tim Schaeffer, Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Bryan Burhans, state and local officials, and community partners to celebrate the completion of a dam rehabilitation project at Meadow Grounds Lake in Ayr Township, Fulton County.

A ceremonial stocking of minnows will take place to mark the first step in a multi-year fish-restocking plan at the lake.
WHEN: Friday, April 30 at 10 a.m.
WHERE: Meadow Grounds Lake Dam, located at southern end of lake off Mountain Drive, McConnellsburg.
