The power of a cup of coffee:
With January days and a new year to contemplate, I'd like to imagine us sitting together with warm mugs of coffee. We could chat about the weather, the kids, the new piece of art downtown, the burger we ate at the new place. While a real conversation like this is not a revolutionary act, the fact remains that taking the time to do this with any sort of regularity is foundational in creating communities of the future. Connecting with each other and sharing about ourselves is a simple way to start creating the kind of community you want to live in. One cup of coffee at a time. Let's keep it simple.

🐾 Bandit is Ready for His Forever Home! 🐾
Cimarron friends, remember this handsome guy? Bandit—the elusive “black dog” who survived on the streets for weeks (maybe months!)—is now safe, healthy, and looking for his person!
✨ Why Bandit is Special:
✔ Street-smart survivor turned sweetheart
✔ Estimated age: 3–4 years
✔ Neutered & vaccinated
✔ Loves people, but needs to be the only dog (for now)
✔ Adoption fees sponsored by a generous donor!
Pit bulls often get a bad rap, but the truth is—they’re loyal, loving, and make incredible companions with the right guidance. Bandit is a good boy who just needs a patient, caring home to help him thrive. He’s scrappy, smart, and ready for his happy ending!
Interested? Contact the City of Cimarron at 620-855-2215 or Mark at 620-253-9284.
If you can’t adopt, please share this post to help Bandit find his person!
Let’s give this survivor the loving guidance he deserves. ❤️🐾

Big News for Little Kids! 🎉
Last month, we received a $5,000 grant from the Community Foundation of Southwest Kansas —and wow, what a difference it’s making!
Please go check it out. Two brand-new pieces of equipment have been added inside the toddler playground, giving our youngest visitors more ways to play safely. And remember those old spring riders that disappeared? They’re BACK with a fresh facelift and ready to bounce for many more years of fun! Thank you to our Public Works guys for helping out where needed! They are beautiful.
Thank you to the Community Foundation of Southwest Kansas for investing in our community’s future. Your generosity helps us create spaces where families can gather, older kids can enjoy the big playground, and toddlers have their own safe spot to play
Western Kansas Community Foundation Makes a Big Impact!
This incredible gift will fund the purchase of an Orb Rocker and install secure fencing around the toddler play area. The fencing ensures our youngest visitors can play safely on equipment designed for their size—because let’s be honest, 8-year-olds don’t make great babysitters! Meanwhile, older children can enjoy the “big” playground, and families can relax and gather at the Shelter House knowing everyone has a safe space.
In the photo, you’ll see members of our Youth Leadership Advisory Board, who learned about the Foundation’s mission and how this grant connects to the Community Survey conducted earlier this year. Your feedback guided this project—thank you for helping us identify what matters most!
Western Kansas Community Foundation’s generosity is helping us turn community needs into reality. Please continue to complete future surveys so we can keep building spaces that make Cimarron a great place for families.
