International Falls and Hibbing are going head-to-head in a fundraising effort for new playground.
Pennies for Play was kicked off yesterday and organizer Robin Bjornquist says the Falls is hoping to raise $17-thousand.
"Kerry Park has been missing a tunnel for a few years due to damage," says Bjornquist. "That's also a twenty year old play structure so we definitely use some funds funnelled into our playground."
Bjornquist says the contest is also tied to the NFL initiative Play 60, which encourages kids to be active, and they're hoping it entices a visit from members of the Minnesota Vikings.
