Fargo American Legion Post 2 Baseball
Fargo American Legion Post 2 Baseball received a $9,900 match grant to partially fund the replacement of the decades old public address system at the 52+ year old Jack Williams Stadium. Legion Post 2 baseball involves three different teams: Bombers, Jets and Post 2 who all call the stadium home. The new PA system included five speakers and new technology so that all those in the stadium can clearly hear the National Anthem, severe weather announcements, player announcements, scores and anything else pertinent to the venue, players and fans.
Fargo Public Library
Fargo Public Library received a $4,263.40 match grant to partially fund their project: StoryWalk. The project features a picture book, displayed page by page onto weather-resistant signposts, spaced out to encourage movement, enjoyment of the outdoors and literacy skills. The featured book may be changed out seasonally or biannually to reflect relevant content. The project serves all ages but is targeted to children and families and was installed at Brunsdale Park along the paved Milwaukee Trail, which is close to homes and apartments to ensure accessibility.
Growing Together Community Gardens
Growing Together Community Gardens received a $4,115 match grant to partially fund their project: World Orchard Educational Signage. The project allows Growing Together Community Gardens to educate individuals of all ages on the nutritional benefits of produce and the basics of growing an orchard, providing for a more comprehensive education to occur at the existing community orchard planted at Rabanus Park.
Post 400 Legion Baseball
Post 400 Legion Baseball received a $15,000 match grant to partially fund their project: Starion Field Clubhouse. Previously, Post 400 had a Clubhouse at the Starion site at the Tharaldson Baseball Complex with limited locker space that was falling short of meeting the needs of the kids enrolled in their programs. The addition of the new clubhouse allowed lockers for up to 78 kids plus a coaches office, storage room and game room for the kids. The clubhouse is also utilized during tournaments for opposing teams coming to Fargo.
