Yesterday there was a posting about a dog training class being held at Erwin Park. It was a very long posting describing all the various training steps that will be taught. There was an email address connected to the posting for you to sign up and pay for the classes. THIS WAS A SCAM!!
I questioned this, as there are no dogs allowed in Erwin Park (at this point in time). The person posting it had not contacted anyone with Friends of Erwin Park, nor the Village.
I responded to it by sending an email to the address given, asking about the class. I have not gotten a response.
However, tracing the email address, it was discovered it was from someone in Tunisia. That's when it was deemed it was a scam. I complained to Facebook, the posting was removed, but I was the one who was put in 'Facebook Jail" for 24 hours. I'm out now, I hope that no one was scammed into sending them money for the fake posting.

I hope many of you read the great and informative article that appeared in this weeks Boonville Heard. So much has been accomplished since we began the project of revitalizing Erwin Park, and still so much yet to do. I would like you to look back to when we thought our Erwin Park was never going to be the same. We have come a long way from that sad day. We thank the community, the businesses and the individuals who have helped
us bring a happy life back to Erwin Park.

So glad to see all the wonderful events happening in the Park. The Farmers Market is in a better place, making the area around the Splash Pad safer from the traffic.
* Bringing the Food Trucks there occasionally has been a popular event and we hope to set a scheduled "Food Truck Day" in the future.
* We are aware of so many requests for a dog park. Although this was not in the initial plans, having one there would make dog owners happy....as well as their pups. This project would need to be one for the future, and worked into the overall plans.
* A couple of the scheduled projects are now out for funding: the ampha theater and the boardwalk/canal access. Along with the repaving of access roads.
* A big shout out goes to the maintenence crew!! With hard work and dedication, they have kept our beautiful Park looking beautiful.

It may be the dead of winter, and it's bitter cold...but ya gotta think summer time and you will survive. We are looking for input for what you would like to see next at Erwin Park, or an event at the Park. The inground pool is on the calendar for sometime in the near future. So we know that is on everyone's 'wish list'.
The Park has come a long way in the past three years, and we hope to continue it's growth and improvements. Let us know what you feel would benefit the Park, and most of all our Community.

When the winds are blowing and the snow is falling and it below zero, just open this page and look at the picture above...it will warm you and bring back some good memories. We hope the 'health situation' subsides by next summer so we can do this all again.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from your friends at
Erwin Park.

Summer may be fading, but there is still so much to enjoy at the Park. The walking trails are fantastic!

This exciting implement is scheduled to open early this summer for everyone’s enjoyment. Thanks to our generous donors, the Village has purchased a shed which will house the control panel and implements of the splash pad. Ground work is in full swing with a huge amount of fill being brought in, piping being laid and grading taking place. This is just phase one of the overall improvements to Erwin park. “This is a very rewarding time for us here at the Village” stated parks commissioner and Village Trustee Kelly Brach. “this massive project could not have taken place without the assistance of the Town and Village workers, the Municipal Commission of Boonville, the Friends of Erwin Park’s dedication to the project, and most importantly, our generous donors”.
