The Park Sign was designed and painted by DJ Hall Sign & Design, Brainerd MN.
The city upgraded its water system with a new 30,000 gallon water tower and another well, this gives the city to meet the needs of our growing community. This project was funded with Grants and Loans from the Army Corps of Engineers and Rural Development.
