Tons of fun

Young people couldn't resist the fun adventures offered by the new playground equipment installed at Prentis Park. Tuesday evening, the community celebrated this latest civic improvement to the community with a carnival including free hot dogs and pop served by Hy-Vee, ice cream cones offered by the Doo Wop Shake Shop, face painting by the Vermillion PTA, clowns and lots of balloons, a jumping center donated by Ace Hardware and miniature golf sponsored by the Clay County 4-H. The new playground is comprised of slides, climbing towers, swings, and a rock climbing board, all painted in a color scheme consisting of burgundy, hunter green and sand. Not only is the equipment state-of-the art, purchased from the Miracle Recreation Equipment Company, one of the largest companies in the country, but it also includes more features than the original equipment.
