Blockton Playground Project Gets $3,500 in Grants

The Blockton Playground Project is now at 49.5% of their goal to purchase new playground equipment. Their goal is to raise $25,000. Recently, the city received a $1,000 grant from the Alliant Energy Foundation. Furthermore, they received a $2,500 grant from the Operation Roundup Program from Southwest Iowa Rural Electric Cooperative. They allow members to volunteer to round up their monthly electric bill to the nearest dollar, and they will donate the proceeds to various community projects.

Further projects to raise funds include the upcoming Santa Visit on December 14th as well as a Fish Fry in the Spring. In addition, a 2020 Blockton Reunion and Tractor Pull is being planned for next year. The first meeting for that will be held on Tuesday, January 14th at 6:30 pm at the Community Hall.
