WAITSBURG—In the process of developing its long-term plan, and in response to public input, the Waitsburg Parks and Recreation District has changed its focus from taking over maintenance of public facilities to providing more community recreation opportunities.

The District will kick things off with a Parks and Rec day on Sat., July 13 at Preston Park from 3-8 p.m. The evening will provide plenty of family fun, including lawn games such as horseshoes, ladder golf, lawn bowling and cornhole. The Granny’s Tamales food truck will be on site as well.
