Let’s Get Ready to Celebrate!
Hopefully you were able to catch the ad in last week’s Tri-County News and saved the date on your calendar, if not, you better get to it! We may not have the same catchy title as last year’s “Rock the Park,” because miraculously, the park got completely rocked. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t repeat the great time we had! This year’s goal is to make Gackle the 4th of July “Destination of Choice.” And why shouldn’t it be? Haven’t you ever gone on vacation and were glad to return home? We have it all here with great parks, swimming pool, RV park, nearby lake area, and don’t forget the wonderful people! With gas prices so high, lets take advantage of what’s local and celebrate!
So here we go…I’m just getting started with all the organizing, but what I do know is that I need help! The day of the event will need the most help with set up, serving, and clean up, but I am also looking for a couple of people to take charge of the kids activities. We are also looking for donations to cover the cost of the event. As you may remember, last year was all donations and volunteers. So if you can help in anyway, please contact me at 485-3385 or mail donations to me at 205 Spruce St E, Gackle, ND 58442. We already have some great entertainment lined up with the group “Raw Sugar” coming from Lisbon, ND to perform for us. I also hear that our finally of fireworks is going to be “bigger and better.” If you saw last years show, it’s hard to imagine how they are going to do that. Gail has been hard at work getting things together and he also has an account set up at Dakota Heritage Bank for any donations.
We can’t forget that Horizon’s is what “sparked” our energy last year and continues to be a positive charge for change in our community. The Horizon’s project will be ending in June and deserves some celebration for all of the motivation and direction it will leave us with. Stay tuned for updates and I expect to hear from you all!
