At the end of October, the City of Garretson invited Blue Dragon Academy to decorate its snowplow blade, and is encouraging the community to help name it.
This is something done yearly by Sioux Falls, and had been "bandied about the office for some time," said Economic Development Director Jessica Fueston. Inviting the center to do the art work was suggested by City Maintenance Supervisor Jordan Doane.
School-aged youth were given cans of spray paint, and told to "make it look pretty," according to Fueston. They took the suggestion seriously, and gave the blade a solid makeover.
The plow now needs a name. Suggestions can be submitted at https://cityofgarretson.com/snow.
"We wanted to bring something positive to the snow plow," she said. "Nobody looks forward to this time of the year, but hopefully when we hear it at 4:00 a.m. now it'll bring up a happy thought."
The snow plow was unveiled just before the Trunk or Treat, and showcased at the event. A huge thank you to the youth of Blue Dragon Academy for their great work!
