Prairie Meadows was proud to support Friends of Mahaska County Conservation project with a 2024 Community Betterment Grant in the amount of $10,000 for an All-Inclusive Nature Playscape and Community Area at Caldwell Park. The project is making great progress and includes new features such as climbing and stepping logs, tire swings, and playful structures like a tree trunk and mammoth skeleton now taking shape. Walking paths are being formed, mulch is being added throughout the play areas, and visitors can stop by the Environmental Learning Center to enjoy a clear view of the development from the deck seating.

The Bravo Awards Gala on Saturday, February 7 celebrated arts, culture, and heritage in our Community. Through a night filled with music, awards, and dancing, the event recognized the transformative power of the arts in our community and celebrated the organizations and individuals that have made an impact.

The Bravo Awards Gala is a showcase for the work Bravo does year-round: providing a competitive and reliable source of funding to regional nonprofit organizations in the arts, culture, and heritage sector, and leading the region in thoughtful discussion, strategy, and research of the impact that arts and culture have on the economy, quality of life, and every regional priority.

Proceeds from the Bravo Awards Gala help offset Bravo’s administrative expenses allowing more public dollars to be invested back into the arts, culture and heritage organizations that create the entertaining and thoughtful experiences. Prairie Meadows is proud to support this meaningful event that positively impacts our community.
