Before the pools are drained, bring your dog in for a dip! Dogs will love a chance to swim to swim at the Grinnell Mutual Family Aquatic Center. To keep the dog's "best friend" safe, human companions are allowed to observe out of the water. Cost is $10 per dog. All proceeds will go to the PALS Dog Park.

The Grinnell Lions Club is hosting Ag Appreciation Day on Thursday, Aug. 31st (rain date Sept. 7th). The event features tractors on display, a meal, speaker, and a tractor parade as a grand finale.
