PRESCOTT – Prescott City Pool got off to a good start this summer, and has more activities planned for the month of July. A recently announced $45,000 grant from Sherwood Trust for pool and park repairs and equipment leaves the longer-range future looking bright as well.
Pool attendance has been excellent so far, with a large number of people using the pool as refuge from the warm weather, according to pool co-manager Yvonne Jackson. Fourth of July weekend saw many families hold picnics and swim to celebrate the holiday.
The Prescott High School Class of 1966 held their 50th reunion at the pool, The Pettyjohn family also held their biannual reunion at the pool this year and several school groups and summer camps use the pool over the hot summer months.
The first session of swimming lessons had a total of 17 young participants. The second session began on July 5th and a third two-week sessions begins July 19th.
The next event coming to the Prescott pool will be a concert by the band Hand Picked in the Field View Park on July 13th. The concert is "by donation" and attendees are asked to bring their own blankets or lawn chairs for seating.
