* If you’re seeing this post it means I still have tiles 😊.

LAST WEEK TO MAKE HANDPRINT TILES!

I’m leaving on a trip and will be gone for a couple of weeks so just trying to wrap this up. If you would like me to make you a kit that you can work on at home on your own time, I’m happy to put one together for you.

There are still a few tiles available, so if you’ve been thinking about making one but weren’t sure if it was too late — it’s not! Or if you’re worried I’m out of tiles, I’m not.

Come on over and let’s memorialize your kiddo’s childhood at the Caribou CommUNITY Playground with a special handprint tile they can look back on for years to come.

Tiles are $25 each, and every purchase helps us maintain and care for the playground.

Don’t miss your chance — this is the last week! Come make a memory with us! Call or text Laura Lind at (208) 604-0885 to set up an appointment.

Edit: Still have some left! Get them before they’re gone!

Here’s your chance to leave a lasting mark at the Caribou CommUNITY Playground!
Would you like a handprint tile for your child at the playground? For the next 4 weeks, we’ll be making handprint tiles! Tiles are just $25 per child, and 100% of the proceeds go directly into our playground maintenance fund. ❤️
This is a fun way to support the continued care and maintenance of our community playground while creating a lasting memory your child can see every time they come to visit!
Ready to make a tile?
Please call or text Laura at (208) 604-0885 to set up a time. Making a tile takes only 5–10 minutes!
Hurry—there is a limited number of tiles, so when they are gone, they’re gone!
Thank you for helping us keep the Caribou CommUNITY Playground a special place for our community!

*Want a tile for your grandkids, but they don’t live in Soda Springs? No problem! Just let me know how many tiles you’d like, and I’ll put together a kit for you to take home. Then, when the grandkids come to visit, you’ll have everything you need to make their handprint tile!

We love Caribou Medical Center! 🏥👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️They are one of our community’s biggest supporters and they’ve done it again. $5,000 towards our Pickleball Court project moves us so much closer to our goal. 🤗🙏💵 You’ll be seeing their branding on one of the six courts we’re making at the City park… which is perfect! That way you’ll know where to go for care after you exhaust yourself during Pickleball games and tournaments!! 🤣😜💪

We are excited to announce the generous support of Caribou County! We now have $5,000 towards our goal of paying for fencing and court lines to turn the new asphalt at the city park into proper pickleball courts. Thank you county commissioners!!
