Prior to the ceremonies, Hall President Darryl Searer announced an additional $100,000 has been paid on the $600,000 debt to the bank for the Woodworth RV antique collection, and the induction dinner and golf outing will bring in an additional $50,000, which MHProNews understands will be used to further reduce debt.
