This year, much of the thanks goes to Donna and Jay Gaydosh for
their hard work on the fountain. The fountain was drained, cleaned,
old paint scraped and a new coat of paint applied.
They had help from park neighbors Katherine and Jacqueline
Crowell. Dennis Reves also labored in the project.
The park is overseen by the Logan County Board and paint was
provided by the county.
The Gaydoshes have received permission from the county board to
donate the coins thrown into the fountain to the Robert Graue Marine
Corps League Toys for Tots program. Toys for Tots is sponsored by
the local Marine Corps League during the December holiday season.
Often the site of weddings, family outings and special events,
the park has featured beautiful plantings and abundant flowers in
recent years.
This year, Pete Ross is responsible for the landscaping and
gardening that has been done around the fountain and at the entrance
gate to the park. New timbers have been added.

July 25 was a big day for this summer. The newly refurbished
fountain was filled and turned on.
Be sure to stop by soon to take in the refreshing vision and
sound of splashing water. The lovely, blooming park also features a
view of the courthouse dome, adding all the more to its delightful
charm.
