COMMUNITY GATHERING LOCATIONS OPEN

Due to the continued risk of severe weather, the following Community Gathering Locations are now open and will remain open until 8:00 PM, or later if weather conditions dictate the need:

Pets must be leashed or in a kennel.

📍 Richardton – Richardton Abbey, 418 3rd Ave West
Please use the east door entrance to access the basement. Pets allowed.

Attention Gladstone and Taylor residents: Due to logistical limitations, community gathering locations are not available in your communities at this time. If you choose to relocate, please utilize the Dickinson or Richardton locations.

Remember, if a Tornado Warning is issued, it is generally too late to relocate safely. If you choose to use a community gathering location, do so during a Tornado Watch or before storms arrive.

Please bring your own water, snacks, medications, phone chargers, and any supplies you or your family, including pets, may need. These locations are community gathering locations, not staffed shelters, and are being provided as a safer option for individuals without access to a basement.

We will continue to monitor conditions and provide updates as needed.

✈️ US Army Air Corps Commemoration Flight Stops in Our Community 🇺🇸

Today we had the privilege of welcoming the US Army Air Corps Commemoration Flight as part of its nationwide journey honoring the 100th Anniversary of the U.S. Army Air Corps and the 250th Anniversary of America.

The commemorative flight features a replica Curtiss JN-4 “Jenny,” one of the most iconic aircraft in aviation history. Assigned to Langley in 1917, the JN-4 served as the primary trainer during World War I and helped pioneer early air-to-air and air-to-ground radio communications.

As this historic aircraft travels to all 48 contiguous states before arriving at Langley, Virginia, it serves as a flying tribute to the generations of men and women who have served our nation through aviation over the past century.

We are honored to have been a part of this remarkable journey and to help celebrate the rich history and legacy of military aviation.
