Women of the Optimist Club were seen in Depot Park last Saturday scraping paint, sanding off rust, and putting fresh primer on train and caboose’s monkey bars.
Meanwhile the Optimist men where seen with drill guns, washers, and screwdrivers trying to put together what started out looking like a spaceship and ended as a Merry-Go-Round, now called the “Whorl.”
“The playground needed some attention,” said Sandy Diederich. ‘The kids use this so much.”
The club raised money for the Merry-Go-Round through various projects.
“It’s just awesome,” said Jean Dasuqui, Optimist president. “It’s wonderful to do something for the park that will bless a lot of families.”
