Such a great opportunity to walk and read in Fayette!

Have you been on the StoryWalk® yet?

This season's story is a great one!

Gaston is happy in his little family. They run, play and get into the kind of mischief you would expect from a puppy and his siblings, even if they don't look like each other.

Until one day when they go to the park and see another family...that look strangely like Gaston!

What follows is a great story about family and how you don't have to be alike to love one another.

The story starts at Hofbaur Park and loops around the trail to Klock's Island. Take a look and then stop by the library to take a short quiz and win a prize!

💰 Looking to secure funding for your next community project?

This fall, take advantage of **two complementary grant writing workshops** that can help you build a stronger proposal and increase your confidence before grant deadlines arrive.

📋 **Fayette County Grant Writing Workshop**
Hosted by the Fayette County Community Foundation
Learn about the Fayette County Community Foundation's grant program, including eligibility, application requirements, budgeting, and tips for preparing a competitive application. It's a great opportunity to ask questions before the grant cycle opens.

✍️ **Grant Writing Proposal Boot Camp**
Sponsored by Fayette County Economic Development & Tourism and Fayette County 4-H and ISU Extension and Outreach
Ready to start writing? This interactive workshop from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach provides hands-on guidance as you develop your own proposal. You'll work through project planning, goals and objectives, evaluation plans, and other key components of a successful grant application.

⭐ Planning to apply for a Fayette County Community Foundation grant? Attend **both** workshops! The Grant Workshop will help you understand what the Foundation is looking for, and the Boot Camp gives you the opportunity to actually work on your proposal with expert guidance.
