Community meeting planned about Humboldt betterment
Following the downtown lighted parade last Saturday was the lighting of the community Christmas tree in Parley Finch Plaza. With the Humboldt/Dakota City Chamber disbanding at the end of the year, some people are wondering who will take over some Chamber duties. To discuss, attend a community open house Wednesday, Dec. 18, 4-7 p.m. at the Humboldt Community Seniors Center, 607 1st Avenue South. Short presentations will be at 4 and 5:30 p.m.

Humboldt City Administrator Travis Goedken announced that the city will be hosting a community open house from 4-7 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 18 at the Humboldt Community Center (Senior Citizens building), 607 1st Avenue South. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss community betterment (future Chamber of Commerce-type activities) wanted in the community.
Goedken said organizers are not just looking for community celebration and recognition activities, but potential volunteers and ideas for big ticket items like the Des Moines River Reasoner Dam and the Wildcat Wonderland Playground.
He asks interested citizens to attend and offer their input and be willing to provide their names and emails for activities and projects they are interested in volunteering for.
The format will be a come-and-go open house event. There will be short presentations at 4 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. that afternoon.
