Schmidt’s Refrigeration has supported Darke County Parks for over twenty years. When the park district built the Nature Center facility at Shawnee Prairie Preserve in 1997, Schmidt’s handled installing the HVAC system, and they have worked with the park board to maintain and upgrade the system throughout the years.

At the April 13th Darke County Parks Board of Commissioners meeting, Greg and Lori Schmidt, owners of Schmidt’s Refrigeration, presented the park district with a donation made possible through cost saving efforts on their last project for the Nature Center. The Darke County Park Board of Commissioners would like to thank Schmidt’s Refrigeration for their continued support and for answering the parks’ needs during both hot and cold weather so that the Nature Center and staff may carry on serving and educating Darke County residents in comfort.
