Planning Stage Begins!

Thanks to all our hard work we are now designing the first six foot public park in Minnesota! Kanten Russell with SITE Design Group was here to get input from the Bemidji skaters on park elements. It looks like we'll have a great mix of street plaza and bowls.

To volunteer or donate contact Nate at dorrhandle@hotmail.com or call 218-444-7192, or you can pick up a $5 coupon book for Herberger's at Beltrami Electric.

$25,000 from Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux!

Thanks SMSC for your generous donation! We are now at just over $311,000, and will have enough to build a great park. We are not done yet, though. Click and donate using PayPal below. We only have a couple more months left to raise the rest!

$2,000 from 1st National Bank Foundation

Thank you First National Bank Foundation for your support!
