According to President Les Whiting they cleaned up some graffitti and repaired some rotting boards before the day of music.

People will fill the park Saturday for Pizzafest between noon and 7pm as eight local restaurants serve up $2 slice pizza.

There will be entertainment at the Rotary Band Shell also.
