The grand opening for the fitness center will on be the 11th of February at 4:00pm with the ribbon cutting at the fitness center. It would be great as many of us that can attend to be there for the pictures.  The cost for a membership for the month of February is $5 and will be available on the 11th so pass with word to everyone.

Tonight, January 30th, at 5:00 p.m. we are going to have a set-up work night for the fitness center. We are asking anyone in the community to show up at the fitness center that is interested in helping set-up the fitness center. We have lots of equipment and a TV that was donated by the school to haul up the stairs. There will also be taco soup for supper for everyone that helps. If everyone would please pass the word so that we can get a much help as possible.

At the Horizon’s II meeting on January 16th, the discussion of the Fitness Center was discussed.  The site for the fitness center will be in the city building, upstairs from the police station.  We understand that it is not handicap accessible at this site, but it is a starting place so we can get the center going to build up to something accessible to everyone.  Also, at this time, appoximately 9 different pieces of equipment have been donated from as far away as Rapid City.  We still would like to possibly have a TV, a stereo system, exercise mats, a VCR/DVD combo for the center.  If you have anything to donate to help get this project going, let us know by calling or leaving a comment.  The center is planned to be opened on February 1st.
