This is a little belated, but we would like to thank everyone who came out to our Park Day clean up event on April 11. We had about 80 people who quickly cleaned up the site for the season and continued to improve the path leading to Fort Johnson. Attendees also enjoyed a presentation about hard rubber given by Mike Woshner and a tour of the prison site and Fort Johnson. Again, thank you to all who attended!
