2018
THANK YOU!!
Our 2018 Coon Rapids Snowflake Days celebration has now come to an end! On behalf of the Coon Rapids Snowflake Association I would like to thank the businesses, civic organizations, volunteers and most of all the citizens of the City of Coon Rapids for your support of our 54th annual winter celebration - because of your participation we enjoyed many successes again this year. If I miss anyone in this note, be assured that it was not intentional and know that we very much appreciate all who gave of their valuable time, talent and generous donations to help us out.
I would like to make special mention of the event sponsors: Bunker Hills Golf Course for another successful Mayor's Cup Simulated Golf Tournament, Coon Rapids Fire Department for sponsoring the $400 in gift cards and hosting the Children's Medallion Hunt at Station #1, Coon Rapids Community Strength Foundation for sponsoring the $500 prize for the Community Medallion Hunt winner, Coon Rapids Junior Royalty for hosting the Children's Carnival, Kris Niebler and Coon Rapids Senior Center for hosting your event and selling our buttons, Coon Rapids Ice Center for the amazing and hugely successful Family Fun Day at the CRIC, Coon Rapids Compass Child Care for your support of the Cookies & Canvas event with yummy treats and drinks for the kids, Coon Rapids North Star Lions Club for your support of the Kids Carnival concession booth, Marv Johnson and Eisenhower & Sand Creek Elementary School for the assistance in having a location to hold many of our events, Lori Anderson and crew for the ever growing Chili Challenge, our "clue master" for your time and talents writing the Medallion Hunt clues, the Miss Coon Rapids Scholarship Program for returning your show to our annual celebration and sharing your beautiful newly crowned Outstanding Teen with us to assist at events during the celebration. For all those listed here, and any that I may have inadvertently forgotten - please know how appreciative we are of your support this year.
Special thanks to the Coon Rapids Rotary Club for your ongoing financial support of the celebration. Also thanks to Border State Bank for joining us again this year with your generous financial contribution to the events.
Thank you to the following businesses who sold our Snowflake buttons this year, we appreciate your support: Coon Rapids Senior Center, Coon Rapids City Hall, Jensen's Foods, Chanticlear Pizza & Grill, Hi-Ten Service Center, Anoka-Hennepin Credit Union and Boulevard Bar & Grill. Please support these businesses!
Thanks to Mayor Koch, Coon Rapids City Council and City staff for your unconditional support and assistance again this year, Coon Rapids Community Strength Foundation for your generous financial support, Pro Biz Sports Embroidery for designing our Snowflake Button, CTN Cable TV and ABC Newspapers for the fabulous coverage of our events.
To all of our event and behind-the-scenes volunteers, thank you doesn't quite convey how appreciative I am of your commitment to our celebration and the community. You are all amazing! Special thanks to Theresa Leggate & Stephen Leggate for your help with the Junior Royalty ceremony, we couldn't have done the event without your support of sound and lights! Thank you, Sue Leggate, for the support this year with the school rentals, Children's Carnival, Junior Royalty celebration, Cookies & Canvas & Kids Fishing Contest. Your support and guidance mean a great deal to me.
And finally, my thanks and appreciation to our 2018 Snowflake Days Marquis Tim Howe! You attended every single event and are a shining example of dedication and commitment to our community.
With since appreciation to all -
