Grab a Shovel

Get Active, Grab a Shovel, Do Good for Your Neighborhood!

Detroit Lakes – The Detroit Lakes Active Living Committee announces the Good Neighbor
Shoveling Campaign.  This is the second annual and this year is expanded beyond the Polar Fest
Week – we’re encouraging residents to shovel all winter.

With the winter season here, the Detroit Lakes Active Living committee is again kicking off its
Good Neighbor Shoveling Campaign.  When there’s a snowfall, we encourage neighbors to help
each other by shoveling their own sidewalk and a neighbor’s walk!  Not only will you have done a
good deed, you’ll reap the benefits of physical activity! Then, enjoy your hard work and clean
sidewalks by going for a brisk walk!

Throughout the winter, if the Active Living Committee finds a good neighbor shoveling their
neighbors sidewalk, that person will win a prize donated by  local businesses.
During Polar Fest week in February, the campaign will intensify because our Active Living team will
have a bigger presence actively trying to catch shovelers in the act.  If we find you shoveling your
sidewalk and/or your neighbors, you’ll have another chance to win a prize donated by local
businesses! Look and listen on KDLM 1340 AM  for more information throughout winter months.
