The secret is out and kids have already been enjoying the new playground at Geise Park! Thank you to the Baxter Early Learning Center for your donation to the park and community.
We would also like to give a warm THANK YOU to Eric Hewitt and the donation towards the zipline made in his name through the Dream Foundation. Drake and Wyatt will have a great memory of you and be able to enjoy your dream.
Do you have cans and bottles building up in your garage? Do you keep telling yourself you will take them in and STILL have not? Do you hate standing in line at the can redemption center?
Well, we have the answer for you!! Baxter Hometown Pride has a green shed down at the City maintenance building ready for all the cans and bottles you want to donate. All funds raised will be going to the SPLASH PAD in Geise Park.
Get rid of your pile up of cans and help fund a splash pad; sounds like a win-win for YOU!!
