Pennies for Play
The Communities of International Falls and Hibbing, Minnesota have joined together to lure the Minnesota Vikings to visit their towns as a part of the 2011 “You Made the Team” Community Tour.
The two northern Minnesota communities will participate in a friendly competition in an effort to entice the team to visit and to encourage active living in their children. The competition is called “Pennies for Play.” In Hibbing the money raised will benefit the Greenhaven Community Playground on 6th Avenue East and 33rd St. In International Falls the money raised will benefit Kerry Park on 11th Street.
The money will be raised until the Vikings visit or until the end of the school year, whichever comes first.
Coin receptacles will be placed throughout the communities. Citizens are encouraged to contribute. To follow the progress of the project, visit www.ifallsnet.com/pennies.htm
Anyone looking for more information or wishing to volunteer to assist with the fundraising should contact: Lory Fedo, President, Hibbing Area Chamber of Commerce
218-262-3895 lfedo@hibbing.org
Hibbing’s Greenhaven Community Playground:
The Greenhaven Community Playground is located on the corner of 33rd Street and 6th Avenue East in Hibbing. It is currently surrounded by a chain link fence and has older playground equipment on the east side of the lot. The west side of the lot is currently a mowed grassy area.
We would like to develop a park that would serve the youngest children in the area. The playground is located across the street from the Greenhaven Apartments. These apartments are subsidized housing serving low income residents. Average household income is less than $12, 000 per year. There are currently 60 children ages 5 and under living in these apartments. The neighboring houses are close to the Greenhaven Elementary School and likely have many additional young children in residence.
Creating a community park that serves those under 5 would promote parental involvement and help to foster a sense of pride in the park. We envision updating the equipment, planting shade trees, adding picnic tables or sitting areas and perhaps a mini soccer field.

Animal Shelter Christmas Open House: A Time of Sharing
From December 13 through December 24, the Hibbing Animal Shelter and Humane Society is holding a Christmas Open House at the Shelter. The hours are from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The purpose of the Open House is two-fold: first, to acquaint the public with our many dogs, puppies, cats and kittens waiting for adoption, and secondly, to ask for Christmas donations of pet supplies for the Shelter, as well as for those people in the community who are in need of help caring for their animals. We want people to help out families first, of course, but if they can afford it, to also remember our animal friends with gifts of dog and cat food, pet treats and chews, toys, catnip, blankets and collars.
The Shelter recommends Pedigree Dog Kibble (for large and small breeds), Purina Puppy Chow, Meow Mix Dry Cat Food, Friskies Canned Cat Food, and Purina Kitten Chow. The Shelter will collect the donations and then share and distribute them at the Salvation Army, on December 23, to pet owners who need pet food and supplies. The public is asked to stop in at the Shelter, or call them, to either donate supplies, or request them for their pets in need. Our hours are from 12 noon to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday, with extended hours until 8 p.m. on Thursdays.
To join in with the Christmas spirit, the Shelter will be serving hot apple cider and cookies from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday from December 13 through December 24.
The Shelter encourages everyone to stop by the Shelter, see our pets, listen to Christmas carols, have a hot drink, and donate if they can. The Shelter is located at 11215 Hwy 37, Hibbing. It is ½ mile west of the airport, on the north side of Hwy 37, (tan and green building). The phone number is (218) 262-1900. You can see photos of our pets for adoption at www.petfinder.com
