10 Year Old Reagan Raises Money For A Playground in Bovey, MN

photo by Reagan's Mom

Sometimes all it takes is a lemonade stand.  10 year old Bovey resident Reagan Gleason and her sister and friendsdecided that the Bovey city park just wasn't cutting it.  Not enough swings or monkey bars and no swing or equipement for people with disabilities.  Their efforts exceeded their goal of $300 and the movement is growing - Reagan is hoping to raise over $30,000 to make her park dream a reality.  Reagan came in to the KAXE studios with her mom Brittany Steinkraus to tell us more. 

If you want to donate to the Bovey City Park Fund stop at the KAXE studios or donate directly at the Bovey City Hall.
