A year of growth and progress

2018 certainly has been an interesting year both not only in New Prague, but across the world.

Locally, New Prague has been blessed with many signs of growth and progress - new businesses opening, a new senior apartment complex nearing completion and a school system that is thriving. The city, school and Mayo Clinic Health System worked together to move the Fitness Center to the Central Education Campus building, where, partnered with the Aquatic Center, provides a complete center for both recreation and fitness that will benefit the community in an economical way.

Improvements to New Prague’s Memorial Park Baseball Stadium - four years in the making - were completed just in time for the park and the city to be showcased as it was a host to the State Amateur Baseball Tournament this year.

These and many other highlights from the past year are showcased in a four-page special feature - The Year in Review - in this week’s edition of The Times. We picked out some of the stories and photos that were featured in our newspaper during the course of the past year. As a newspaper staff, it is our mission to bring you the stories of the community on a weekly basis, and we thank our readers and advertisers for making it possible to do this.

The New Prague Times staff wishes everyone a Happy New Year, and we look forward to continuing our mission to inform the community during 2019.
