ROYAL CITY - Kristi Jenks, 10, of Royal City, accepts a check for $3,000 toward the Royal City dog park project from Northwest Farm Credit Services at a special assembly at Royal Intermediate School on Sept. 26.
The donation brought the total Kristi had raised to $7,900, Heather said. On Monday, the Jenks family received a phone call from the Grant County Humane Society pledging another $15,000, which put the project over the top. Any money left over will be used for improvements to the park such as extra benches and trees, Heather said.
