Free Paint for Rabideau!

Make Rabideau Shine project receives a grant for free paint!

The Northwest Minnesota Foundation (NMF) recently announced awards of free paint for community fix-up and restoration projects and the "Make Rabideau Shine" project was a recipient of 60 gallons of paint. "Make Rabideau Shine" is a project that several partners have taken under their wings and with resources in short supply free paint is what they like to hear! Camp Rabideau National Historic Landmark, on the Chippewa National Forest, is one of three remaining Civilian Conservation Corp camps being preserved.

The free paint is a collaborative effort between the Valspar Corporation and the "Picture-It-Painted" program. The effort awards paint and other coating materials that are needed for rehabilitation projects in local towns and organizations. The community beautification projects picked add significant social and cultural value to places throughout the area.

Time to get the paint brushes out and "Make Rabideau Shine"!
