The Baileyville-Sacred Heart Park Project was awarded $13,500 to help build a playground park on the grounds of the Sacred Heart Church. A committee has raised additional money from grants and donations. The majority of the grant was provided from the Baileyville Endowment Fund, which was established by the Baileyville State Bank.
Another grant for $5000 to the St. Benedict Ball Association was made possible from funding by the Baileyville Endowment Fund. The grant will help provide improved lighting for the existing facility.
