It
looks awesome. Many thanks to those who cleaned up and got our
fountain at Scully Park operational. The fountain is a
centerpiece of one of our great parks located just off our
downtown square. Now it is our obligation to keep the fountain
and park looking beautiful. Don't litter, and if you see debris
dropped by a careless individual, pick it up. The job of keeping
our city looking good belongs to all of us.
