The Boles Community Center was awarded a $75,000 FUN Park Grant earlier this year to fund a playground for the community. After much anticipation, work has started on the site.
Chris Allen’s building trades class spent several days doing the concrete work, building the sidewalk and the pad for a picnic table. Students included David Sexton, Christian Parkhurst, Gatlin Lovett, Marcus Dye, Tate Miller, Gary Thomas, EJ Atchley, Brylee Canada, Brycen Hattabaugh, Eric Stockton, Emily Louk, and Jaren Howell. They did an excellent job.
The board appreciates the backhoe work done by the county, Wade Ridenhour for moving the old swing set to its new location by the merry-go-round, and the folks at Arkansas Valley for cutting down a dead tree that was a hazard.
