On Thursday, June 18, SilverCreek On Main hosted its annual Longest Day Alzheimer’s event.

The Maple Grove Police and Fire Departments faced off in a friendly challenge, with three riders from each department pedaling their hearts out on stationary bikes for 10 minutes. The goal? Rack up the most total distance and take home the first-ever traveling trophy!

🚴🏆 Bragging rights have officially been earned! 🏆🚴

We're excited to report that the Maple Grove Police Department came out on top and claimed the inaugural championship trophy! 🚔💪

A huge thank you to our friends at the Maple Grove Fire-Rescue for being great sports and helping support a great cause. Until the rematch... we'll be keeping the trophy safe. 😎🏆

We are reminded that Alzheimer’s is a devastating disease that claims more lives than breast and prostate cancer combined, currently affecting nearly seven million Americans. The Longest Day is a powerful fundraising initiative that supports the Alzheimer’s Association’s mission to advance care, support, and research.

🎣🚓 A reel-y great day at Fish Lake Park! 🚓🎣

Today, we had the pleasure of hosting our annual Cops & Bobbers program, bringing together 17 young anglers for a morning of fishing, water safety, outdoor fun, and community connection.

Participants learned valuable fishing skills, spent time on the water, and got to know Maple Grove police officers in a relaxed and positive setting. A special thank you to Three Rivers Park District and Fishing for Life for helping make the event such a success!

To top it all off, Fishing for Life provided each participant with a refurbished fishing rod and tackle box to take home, ensuring the fun can continue long after the event ends.

Programs like Cops & Bobbers are a great reminder that some of the best conversations happen at the end of a fishing line. Thanks to everyone who helped make this year's event one to remember! 💙🐟

PUPS Reinvestment Project Breaks Ground!

Exciting things are happening at Pets Under Police Security (PUPS)!
On June 8, representatives from the Cities of Maple Grove, Plymouth, New Hope, and Robbinsdale, joined elected officials, project partners, rescue organizations, and community members to celebrate the groundbreaking of a major reinvestment and expansion project at the PUPS facility.

Since 1991, PUPS has provided compassionate care for lost, stray, and surrendered animals while helping reunite pets with the families who love them. The expansion will grow the facility to approximately 5,500 square feet, creating a modern, efficient space that enhances animal welfare and supports nearly 190,000 residents across our four partner cities. Today, PUPS successfully achieves positive outcomes for approximately 96 percent of the animals that enter its doors through owner reunification and partnerships with rescue organizations.

The project reflects the power of regional collaboration and was supported in part by an $850,000 federal Community Project Funding award secured through Representative Kelly Morrison.

As construction gets underway, we look forward to the future of PUPS and continuing our mission of caring for animals, reuniting families, and serving our communities with compassion.
