What’s Going On In Your Community?
Do you know what’s happening in your community? Now is a great time to find out, and to get involved in the great changes that are in store! Committee meetings are held monthly - the third Tuesday of the month at the City Hall. EVERYONE is welcome to attend!!
Did you know that by the end of this year, Montrose will have a biking/walking trail around the park & pool area? The first phase will consist of a 1/4 mile paved track, along with an area of exercise equipment. There will be room for expansion of the trail as monies become available. What a great addition for each member of our community to enjoy!
The following committees all have projects lined up and ready to go once the weather warms up a bit:
Landscape Committee - Planning on landscaping around the City of Montrose sign on Hwy 38. If you have any plants or trees to donate, contact JoAnn Thompson. Anyone who likes gardening and wants to volunteer, please don’t hesitate to get involved. All hands are welcome!
Community Garden Committee - The garden site will be in town this year - behind the elevator. Thanks to Bob Erickson, the plot is tilled up and ready to go! Individual plots will be available, along with the community plot. Plans are to hold a farmer’s market again this year. There were many people who benefited from the fresh produce last year. Even if you don’t want your own plot, anyone is welcome to come plant, weed, water, and harvest for the community plot. Bring the kids - they will enjoy it too!!
Skate Park Committee - Get the kids excited about something other than TV & video games! This committee is looking at converting the unused tennis court by the pool into a skate park. Of course adults would be welcome too - it’s good to learn something new!! Grants are available to help with the cost, but a committment needs to be made by fundraising, getting plans, measurements, etc before applying for the grant. Does this sound like something that interests you? Please contact Amy Condon or Wendy Coldman to learn more or to help make this a reality. Christian Holman has done some research, and is very excited to get things moving. ALL AGES are welcome!!
Many other committees are working toward making Montrose a community on the move. The Spud Fest Committee has begun the plans for this year’s festival, and Wendy Coldman is getting the 4-H’ers involved with making more shamrock signs. Many new-comers do not have the green signs yet, and many others need replacements. She’s hoping to have the signs ready for sale by March 17th.
As you can see, a lot is going on in our community. Please join us - you’ll enjoy it!
