Viking Center Kick-Off
Event
Stanton Friends had an excellent kick
off event on October 1, 2008 at the Stanton Community High School with an
estimated attendance of 500 people!
The evening started with a meal that consisted of BBQ beef, chips,
and cookies. The program highlighted the proposed plans for the new Viking
Center which would include a new daycare, preschool, library and wellness
center. Mickey Anderson
introduced several partners that will aid in the development of the new
center. Those included: Pat
Hall from Snyder and Associates, Dee Fischer and Deb Reed with the USDA,
Lana Pals our grant writer, and Sue Cosner and Rand Fisher with the Iowa
Area Development Group. Bret
Hultman presented an overview of the building plans. After the presentation Chuck Truka
and Mickey Anderson drew for door prizes; Tim Kammerer won two Southwest
airline tickets, Bailey Foote won Nebraska Football tickets, and Dave Hart
and Matt Peterson won tickets to the Mid America Center. Stanton Friends ended the evening
with a great performance from Champions Forever. Bruce
Crevier is a "Four Time Guinness World Record
Holder" for basketball spinning; Bruce and Diane Crevier are the parents
of 10 children with the 11th on the way. They used
basketballs, unicycles, music and fun to entertain the
crowd!!
