When the children of Kids Rock! Day Care Center headed to this year’s Rock County Fair Day Care Day, they arrived cool, safe, and ready for fun, thanks to a helping hand from the Luverne Rotary Club. The Rotary Club recently donated $600 to Rock County Opportunities (RCO) to cover transportation for the day care’s children and staff to and from the fairgrounds. In all, RCO provided 224 trips, making sure that even the youngest attendees could take part in the day’s activities.
