Coon Rapids Hosts Puzzle And Game Swap Event To Promote Sustainability and Community Fun

In the spirit of sustainability, Coon Rapids Recycling Center is calling all board game lovers and puzzle enthusiasts. The city is organizing an event where residents can bring their gently used games and puzzles, providing them with an opportunity to swap for something new-to-them. According to a social media post by the City of Coon Rapids, MN - Local Government, the Puzzle and Game Swap event is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 8 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Coon Rapids Civic Center.

The city is accepting puzzle and game donations starting Tuesday, Jan. 21, through Friday, Feb. 7, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Inspections Department counter at City Hall. One notable aspect of the event is that participants, will receive a token for each item they drop off. These tokens can later be used at the swap to claim new puzzles or games to take home. Drop-offs will also be accepted on the day of the event itself.

Embracing the idea that one person's old game may be another's instant favorite, the swap encourages a form of recycling that entertains as it conserves. It's a practical solution that not only reduces waste but also fosters community interaction. It promises a chance to declutter, discover treasured games, and connect with fellow residents over shared interests.

Participants looking for more information can visit the Coon Rapids Recycling Center's website, or get in touch with the city's Inspections Department. On the day of the swap, the community is invited to come together, tokens in hand, and peruse the selection of pre-loved entertainment on offer. "Want to trade your gently used puzzle or game for a different one?" the city asks. With the added benefit of environmentally-conscious consumption factored into the day's activities, it seems likely that many residents will answer with a resounding "Yes."
