With Dobby's Frontier Town Fall Festival coming up, the non profit organization is asking the public for assistance in increasing and improving their security. Lori White is the President of the Dobby's Towners Board and she explains.
"What we're doing at this point looking to enhance the security system, we're still looking at bidders." White said.
White says that they are looking for something that is strong enough to record license plates when vehicles enter through the gates. Increasing security at Dobby's is expensive due to the size the facility at 2.5 acres and 27 buildings and as a non-profit, the organization relies heavily on donations. Dobby's gets a once-a-year donation from the Mission Store up to $2,000 for smaller items.
White says they are working to get a GoFundMe account running for the security upgrades they need. She also says they are also in need of volunteers.
"We're a skeleton crew right now, there's 2-3 of us that are maintaining the facility all summer long," White said. "During the Fall Festival, we have approximately 15 that take care of the Fall Festival, so we have got to get people involved."
For donations send a check to Lori White at 423 Hudson, Alliance, NE 69301. You can also reach her at Dobby's at 308-762-7157.
