Last year in January Clair Granquist came to a Saddle Up meeting and said the community needed a new playground for the city park in Shoshone. Saddle Up a community 501-c3 organization told her they would hold the funds as they were acquired. Clair went to work. Valley Wide Cooperative and Land O Lakes donated five thousand dollars each. Glanbia donated ten thousand dollars for the project.
Now the Janice Seagraves Family Foundation granted Saddle Up Lincoln County forty-two thousand dollars for the new city playground. The grant the City of Shoshone received along with other funds means the new playground project should be done by the summer of 2018. All who see the city playground can understand the need for a new playground. Saddle Up Lincoln County would like to thank all the organizations who are helping with this project. Thank You, from Saddle Up Lincoln County.

Shoshone is the county seat of Lincoln County, and named Train Town U.S.A. in 2012. History has proven the Railroad is valued by the community. When the railroad came to Shoshone, it turned stage stop into a boom town. From then on, Shoshone would be known as a place to go see the trains.
