Community Collaboration Day: A Show of Pride

New Rockford area residents came together in a big way on Sunday, May 19 for the first ever Community Collaboration Day. The event was spearheaded by the New Rockford Area Betterment Corporation with help from the New Rockford Area Chamber of Commerce and the City of New Rockford.

Despite the cool temperatures and threat of rain, volunteers showed up at City Hall with hats and work gloves, ready to dive into projects around the community.

Projects ranged from cleaning the historic buildings at the Eddy County Museum to laying a barrier and filling mulch around the new playground at Archie Jessie Campbell Memorial Park & Campground. Volunteers were also able to collect ready-to-plant trees courtesy of the Arbor Day Foundation.

All enjoyed a community supper sponsored by the New Rockford Eagles and Lions Club after the work was done.
