Symmes Township teenager Grady McGoff recently finished renovating the Ohio State University Alumni Club vendor booth on the Clermont County Fairgrounds.

“The booth was a mess - it had truly outlived its life,” McGoff said at the fair July 23. “My grandmother suggested that I fix up the booth for my eagle scout project. I began working on it two months ago and just finished up in time for this year’s fair.”

After tearing down the old booth, McGoff renovated the concession booth from “the base up.”

“It had obviously been some time since the booth had an overhaul,” he said. “The wood was deteriorating, the walls, the siding – everything needed to be replaced. I did all that, changed the wiring and circuit breakers, added fans, and gave them much more storage and moving-around room inside the booth.”

McGoff’s grandmother Anne Titus said that she is immensely proud of her grandson.
