The city of Menlo had a community activity Wednesday afternoon. 

The Mayor Carol Sheldahl hosted a potluck and family dance that attracted a lot of attention at the city park shelter house. The event had a DJ playing music, food along with many homemade desserts from residents. Sheldahl told Raccoon Valley Radio why she decided to put this event on. 

“I want to bring the community together, this is my first year as mayor and I just want a friendly community so it’s just to bring everyone together.”

Sheldahl noted that she would like to keep holding events like these and raise the participation.
