We had a blast at Community Field Day on Saturday! Thank you to everyone who came out and the vendors and local clubs for joining us at Castlewood Park 🌳🏃 Events like this are not only fun, but help make our community better connected and strengthen our civic health!

We're excited to introduce our new Civic Spotlight series, supported by the Solutions Journalism Network! This series goes beyond news that focuses on what's wrong and instead highlights what's working. Our goal is to spark your imagination with actionable solutions other communities have explored.
