Boy Scout Troop 340 finished the final touches on the Thelen Park sign project last weekend! They planted bushes and mulched the raised landscape bed built by our public works department. The funds for the landscaping were donated by the Thelen family last year. The sign was designed by Rainbow Signs in Spring Grove and the columns were built by public works. Thank you to all involved for the help in beautifying the entrance to our park!
From left are Ben Campbell, Cameron White, Aiden O’Brien, Aaron Anderson, Landon Simecek and Ian Campbell.
