RITZVILLE - Lind-Ritzville School District employees Gale Gardner, Zach Gardner and Brady Wahl prepped the Broncos grandstand for a new coat of paint two weeks ago; pressure-washing, scraping and priming before beginning to paint last week.

Zach Gardner said he expects the work to be done early this week.

"We'll paint the concession stand next, and eventually the storage buildings," Gardner said. "It's been a long time coming."
