partnered with service clubs to repaint the caboose.
In addition they have purchased new hanging
baskets and window boxes for the garden shed at
the library and new benches for the grounds.

Community Foundation grant for planting trees and
re-landscaping at the Forest Fairgrounds.

around their building.
