Denison is buzzing with community spirit this week as two feel-good events give residents plenty of reasons to get involved and give back.
First up, the city is hosting a community scavenger hunt, giving locals a fun and interactive way to explore Denison together. According to KTEN, residents are invited to join in the adventure — a lighthearted activity that encourages neighbors to connect with one another and discover their city in a whole new way. Whether you’re a longtime local or newer to the area, the scavenger hunt offers a playful reason to get out and enjoy everything Denison has to offer.
At the same time, the annual Battle of the Badges Blood Drive is underway, bringing together members of the community in a friendly competition with a life-saving purpose. The event, reported by KTEN, pits local badge-wearing public servants against one another to see who can collect the most blood donations — all in the name of helping patients in need across the region. Blood drives like this one play a vital role in keeping local hospital supplies stocked, and the Battle of the Badges has become a beloved annual tradition that highlights the generous spirit of Denison’s first responders and the residents who support them.
Together, these two events paint a picture of a community that knows how to have fun while also showing up for one another. From friendly scavenger hunts through local streets to life-saving blood donations, Denison continues to demonstrate that neighbors here look out for each other — and enjoy doing it. Keep an eye on KTEN for updates on both events and information on how you can still participate.
