The Crookston Chamber Board gathered over their lunch hours on Thursday to work on the Welcome to Crookston signs at the city’s north and south ends. The signs are located along Highway 2 across from Ed Widseth Field on the north end and across from American Crystal on Highway 75 on the south end.
Board member Aaron Meyer said the Chamber Board was giving the signs a little TLC. “We’re just helping out the community anyway we can,” said Meyer. “We noticed the signs here on the north and south ends of town need a little TLC, so we’re giving them a little TLC.”
Board member Christopher Christian said the board wanted to help make Crookston look the best it can. “We’re just out hearing picking the weeds,” said Christian. “Trimming around the outside, making sure they look nice. We want Crookston to look the best we can, so we’re just out here cleaning it up and making the signs look the best we can.”
While the group hasn’t been able to meet very much with COVID-19, Christian said they used email to plan making the cleanup happen. “It was a group effort,” said Christian. “We had talked about it through email. Our meetings have been kind of tricky with COVID going on, so through email we’ve been communicating with one another. Just picked a day, made it happen, and here we are.”
