We would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who came together to make Community Night Out such a wonderful event!

Market on Main — the food you provided was absolutely scrumptious! Thank you for helping make sure everyone was well-fed and enjoyed a great meal.

Boy Scout Troop 426 — the food everyone enjoyed couldn’t have been possible without all of your help! From setting up, cooking, and serving to tearing down and cleaning up, you were there every step of the way. The night was a smashing success because of your efforts, and we truly appreciate everything you did.

Tip Top — your ice cream is always a delicious treat, and it was a big hit!

Kyle & Toni Drum — thank you for providing your ice cream machine so everyone could enjoy that yummy ice cream!

VFW Post 7902 — thank you for allowing us to use your equipment to cook up all of the delicious food!

Jump4Fun — your bouncy houses are always a hit, and it was clear the kids loved them!

First National Bank of Osakis — the piggy bank toss was such a fun game for the kids! Thank you for helping make the evening even more enjoyable.

Mid-Minnesota K9s — Cassie, your K9s are so awesome! What an incredible opportunity you provided for our community to meet your K9s and see some of the amazing things they can do. Thank you for sharing them with us!

Head Start — setting up a table for parents on a night like this is such a wonderful idea! It was an absolutely great way for parents to connect with resources, learn about what is available to them, and enjoy the evening with their families.

West Central Sanitation — we appreciate the extra cans you provided to help keep our park clean and enjoyable for our community. Thank you for helping us take care of our community space!

A huge thank you also goes out to the Osakis Fire Department, Osakis First Responders, Osakis Police Department, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, and Todd County Sheriff’s Office for coming together to help make this night a special one for our community.

And finally, thank you to everyone who came out and enjoyed an evening with us. Bringing our community together like we did builds a strong sense of connection, strengthens relationships, and reminds us what makes Osakis such a wonderful place to call home.

We had such a great turnout, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make Community Night Out possible. We are already looking forward to seeing you all again next year!
