The successful fundraising effort led by the Crookston Lions that resulted in their “Mobile Stage” project becoming a reality was celebrated at Town Square Tuesday, with musical performances.
The Crookston Lions set a $25,000 goal to construct the stage, which, as its name suggests, is portable and can be used for events across the community.
Sponsors and “major” donors include Altru Clinic, American Crystal Sugar, Best Used Trucks, Bremer Bank, Crookston Area Community Fund, DeBoer Industries, Otter Tail Power, PolyCell Technologies, RiverView Health, AgriMax, Beggs Insurance, Carman View Estates/Kevin Ross, and Fred Parnow.
