Herington Best Foot Forward

HELP NEEDED - The Haunted Hay Ride put on by the Herington Revitalization is going to be great, but they do need a little help:
They have the trailers for the hay ride, but need some trucks and drivers to pull them.
They also need donations of plywood and pallets to create spooky cutouts in the park.
If you can help, message through the Herington Revitalization page or message Calliope Richard

Action and Apathy are both contagious. Let the action that has been demonstrated this past weekend infect you! Get involved with groups like Herington Revitalization, Visit Herington!, Herington Area Creatives Guild, Fun Committee, or just take a few moments to pull some weeds! Message this page if you want to get involved but need some ideas!
Don’t let Apathy keep winning.

The cure for apathy isn't a plan.

It's not a meeting. It's not a study. It's not a comprehensive strategy.

It's action.

Small, visible, tangible action. Pull the weeds. Paint the building. Plant the flowers. Fix the broken window. Clean the sidewalk.

Every time someone takes action in a community, something shifts. Not just in the place itself, but in the people watching. They see that progress is possible. They see that someone gives a damn. And slowly, they start to give a damn too.

Action is contagious. Apathy is too. Choose wisely.

Small towns really are something special. ❤️

This week’s Community Love shoutout goes to St. Paul Lutheran Church and The Checkered Flag for spending an entire Sunday giving back to the community in ways that make a real, tangible difference.

The members of St. Paul always spend a day cleaning up around town on their annual "God's Work, Our Hands" day—and this year, they added some car care to the list, offering free oil changes and other maintenance work to members of the community who needed a little help.

And a BIG shout out to Curtis Hartman and NAPA Auto Parts for donating so many of the supplies to help make it happen.

This is what community looks like. People giving their time, businesses giving what they can, and neighbors helping neighbors.

Small towns are amazing. And we're pretty lucky to be part of one.
