Letter: Thanks to those who volunteered for parks and rec

To the editor:

Brown County Parks and Recreation would like to extend our sincere appreciation to a small group of dedicated volunteers. Collectively, these men and women have contributed nearly 500 hours this year, of mowing and grounds-keeping labor. With their help, the playing fields, walking trails, and natural features at Deer Run Park have continued to accommodate both residents and visitors alike.

Special thanks to Keith Baker, the late Al Weber, Ed Wrightsman, Travis Sommers, Bonney Closey, Dean Keefauver and Jeff Tracey for all your efforts. We truly appreciate all you have done. With your help, we look forward to continuing to provide a well-maintained park for our community.

Sincerely,

Mark Shields, director, Brown County Parks and Recreation
