Light donation accepted for trails

The City of Cloquet has accepted a $225 donation from Brent Smith to pay for the costs of renting a lift to replace the lights on the 2.5K ski trail at Pine Valley. City administrator Tim Peterson said the former ski coach and longtime community volunteer ran by when city workers were changing the lights and asked what it cost to rent the lift. “When Tim Johnson got back to the shop, there was a check from Brent on his desk to pay for us renting the lift,” Peterson said. “I think that’s awesome, a great way to contribute to the community, certainly something he didn’t need to do, and I just wanted to say thank you.”
