This is the final week to contribute to the Grafton Time Capsule! Swing by City Hall to drop off items. ⏱️

What might be obsolete in 50 years? What should the future generations know about what Grafton is like today? What stories would you like to share?

All are welcome to contribute. Drop off at Grafton City Hall, 5 East 4th St by Friday!

📦 Help Us Create a Time Capsule for 2076! 🇺🇸

As part of the celebration of America's 250th birthday, Grafton is joining communities across Walsh County in creating a time capsule that will be opened 50 years from now.

We're looking for items, photos, stories, and memorabilia that capture what life in our community is like today. What should future generations know about Grafton in 2026?

Ideas include:
📸 Photos of community events and landmarks
📝 Personal stories or letters
📰 Newspaper clippings and programs
🏫 School, church, or organization memorabilia
🪙 Everyday items that may become obsolete (pennies, car keys, etc.)

The time capsule box is only 12" x 12" x 5", so space is limited, but we'd love to see your ideas!

📅 Please drop off contributions by Friday, June 26.

Help us leave a message for the future and preserve a piece of Grafton's story for generations to come.

🦩 Have you seen the flamingos hanging around town? 🦩

They’re not lost—they’re part of the Flamingo Fandingo Fundraiser!

Anyone can pay a fee to "flock" a house or business within Grafton with a flock of bright pink and blue flamingos. It's a fun way to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, special occasion, or simply surprise a friend or neighbor.

Want to send a flock their way? The flamingos will make a temporary stop at their location before moving on to their next destination around town.

Ready to flock someone? Contact the Grafton Area Chamber of Commerce/DMV to schedule your flamingo delivery! Hurry before the birds migrate for the season. 🔆
