It was definitely time for an oldfashioned block party. The West Jefferson Elementary School end-of-the-year tradition on
May 12 brought out children and their parents, and the wet weather didn’t dampen their spirits as most of the vendor tables simply moved inside to the gymnasium. Outside, children climbed inside an Elk Creek Fire Rescue engine,
taking turns running the lights and sirens. Inside, children tried on firefighter gear, looked at wild animal hides and played as parents learned more about activities and programs
The Evergreen Park & Recreation District board is trying to envision what the district should offer in the next 10 years. The board spent more than two hours on May 23 looking into a crystal ball, figuratively speaking, as it pored over data from a variety of sources on district wants and needs. Board members are trying to get a better idea of what should be in its strategic plan for programs and facilities to offer in the next three to five years. No decisions have been made on specific projects for the strategic plan or whether the rec district will ask voters for more property taxes in SEE EPRD, P3
