Check out this crew! These hard workers are the part-time employees the city hired to assist with all the extra work that is needed during the summer months. These kids mow the seven parks and all other city grounds, pour concrete, repair streets, plant flowers, erect playground equipment, shovel rock, paint parking lots – the list is long and the temps are HOT! If you see one of these employees please applaud them for all their efforts.
