The hall had water leaking in from rain that was damaging the wood arches inside. So it was decided to replace the roof with a steel roof. However, the money would have to be raised to purchase the roof replacement. Several ideas was input as ways to raise the money needed. Pancake breakfast was used several times to raise the money. However, one suggestion was to have a silent auction. Items were collected from around the area merchants and private individuals and were auctioned off in a two day affair. Over $4500 was raised from the auction and helped put the money needed over the top for the replacement. Cost of the new roof was just over $10,000.
