Pana Pride is highlighting their efforts to beautify the town they call home.  The organization is working with the town and residents to clean front yards, demolish buildings no longer fit for use, and collect old furniture.  Pana Pride is also preparing for a summer full of activities and looking for more people to get involved with their efforts. 

One way of improving the appearance of neighborhoods is through their annual “yard of the month” competition.  Pana Pride President Melissa Miller says the competition has run long enough to cover every part of the town.

There are a number of homes in Pana in need of demolition, and Pana Pride helps fund these efforts along with the town. 

Pana Pride is now looking ahead to their summer events.  Their festivities ahead of Independence Day highlight the upcoming plans. 

If you live in Pana and want to get involved with Pana Pride, the organization would love to have you on.  Meetings take place the second Thursday of every month.  Members can be involved in any of the various committees and make their voices heard.
