Constellation of Starke representatives were out gathering community input at the North Judson Mint Festival this weekend.
A variety of individuals from all ages provided some feedback about what they love about Starke County and what they’d love to see happen in the future.
People who provided input had their pictures taken with the Constellation of Starke logo and responses were shared on the group’s Instagram page.
When it came to what people loved, responses included the small-town-feel as well as the helpful and inviting community. People also noted that they like being able to see the stars at night and appreciate that trees, flowers and other elements of nature are apparent within our communities.
When it came to what Mint Fest Goers said they would like to see, specifically in the Town of North Judson, there were a few practical responses such as the installation of sidewalks to assist with pedestrian safety as well as improving access to fresh produce and more food options.
One group of NJ-SP students said they’d like it to be the Mint Fest every weekend. Similarly, a lot of adults suggested having events that include vendors and bands more frequently.
Constellation of Starke representatives plan to be stationed at other events this summer such as the Bass Lake Festival and the 4-H Fair. Be sure to keep an eye out for their booth to have your ideas heard.
You can also swing by the Starke County Community Foundation in North Judson, the Starke County Economic Development Foundation in Knox as well as Knox City Hall and North Judson Town Hall to meet with a Constellation of Starke Rep and discuss ideas and have your picture taken with the logo.
