Ribbon Cutting for the New Handicapped Swing Set

After more than a year of planning, the St. Francois County Rotary Club is excited to announce the completion of the county's first swing set in Columbia Park, Park Hills that is designed for disabled children.

The Rotary Club, along with the Park Hills - Leadington Chamber of Commerce will celebrate the completion of the project with a ribbon cutting on September 19, 2013.  The event will include free hot dogs, chips, balloon animals for the kids and a special performance by Magician D.J. Edwards!
