City of Jamestown: Jamestown Jamboree
January 1, 2025
“This event would not have been possible without the grant funds we received. This year we had vendors that donated to the children attending giving them tokens as prizes for the children’s games. At one point in the afternoon we handed out all of the tokens at once, and the children ran straight to the vendor area. The vendors were bombarded with dozens of children cashing in their tokens. The smiles on the children’s faces as they ran toward the vendor area made the volunteers’ day!” - Jessica Pressler

City of Glasco

The City of Glasco received a $7,500 grant from the Dane G. Hansen Community Grant Fund to start a community recreation program.

In the first year, 15 recreational/educational events were implemented including golf, harmonica lessons and a movie night.
