Dodge, ND

I am looking for any ideas on how to get exercise equipment. We have many people who would use exercise equipment to help maintain better health, try to control weight, and hopefully get off medication. Right now the weather has been great to go outside, but once it gets cooler, people are stuck inside, no more exercise! We live so far from any gym and with gas prices being where they are, many are not able to go to a gym. All I would need is a few peices of equipment: treadmills, cardio machines, etc to get going. Any ideas out there? Any input would be appreciated!!

Are you tired of being the last one to know what is going on?  Well fret no more.  Dodge has a remodeled bulletin board right on Main Street that is waiting for your messages.  Stop by and see the awesome work Clyde Moldenhauer did to make this eye appealing bulletin board and to read up on the lastest going-ons.

The Dodge City Library has received many,many books from Jan Olson of Beulah. These books are fiction for adults and children. Come in and see all the new additions. We also ordered many new books for adults and children. Please check out the new additions. If anyone has an author they would like to have us order, call Darlene.

Some busy people in the city of Dodge have planted flowers in the park. It sure makes everything look like spring. Good job to all of you who helped do this!!

Sunday, May 18, 2008, saw the Dodge community coming together to help one of their own.  Peggy Senger travels three times a week to Dickinson for kidney dialysis.  And we all know the cost of traveling these days so we wanted to help her with some of  expenses.  A pancake/waffle and sausage breakfast was held from 9:00 am until 1:00 pm at the Dodge city auditorium.  A bake sale and 50/50 raffle was a part of the day.  The benefit was well attended by the surrounding communities as well as Dodge.

On May 17,2008, the Dodge City Hall saw a parade of cute doggies and kitty cats awaiting their yearly shots being administered by Knife River Vet Clinic.  Dog licenses can also be picked up at the Dodge City Hall from 8:00a.m. to 3:00p.m. Monday, Wednesday or Friday.

The Dodge library received notice from Micontinent TV that they have been awarded a $1,000.00 grant. Darlene Reilly was excited about the grant and asks for help from patrons in requesting author and book suggestions which will be purchased soon.
