Our biggest project during ’03 was the Apple River Island Park project that entails landscaping and rip rapping. Restrooms, pathways, and fishing piers were installed for the physically challenged. Dedication of the park was August 12, 2003. Photo’s
Another project is the Cedar Lake Watershed project, also known as the Cedar Lake Carp Removal Project. The dam in Huntington is was rebuilt to allow the water level of Cedar Creek to be manually lowered so the fish in the creek can be harvested (carp).
Our annual Pheasant Hunt For The Disabled is one of our benchmark projects which took place in October. More info and pictures to come on this. Photo’s
We treat the seniors to a day of fun including a picnic and fishing in the park. This take place every August. Photo’s
