Washington City Council was updated by community leaders on events happening throughout the city from the beginning of the month. Parks Director DeAnna Martin led the speakers by telling council that 4000 guests entered the swimming pool from its opening on Memorial Day weekend through the month of June. The Fourth of July weekend was a success as the Spark In The Park event hosted 1600 people throughout the course of the day. Martin stated that several residents felt like the park was the park of their youth with the activities and fireworks display. They told their kids that this is the way the park was when they were a kid. The next event will be July 30 when the park puts on its Shark In The Park event. Contestants will build cardboard boats that they will row across the pool for prizes. Main Street Manager Shana Brown congratulated the Whiskey Rebellion Committee for their efforts on a successful weekend. She reported that business owners were quite happy with the event. The next event for Brown will be a Kitchen Clash where members of the police, fire department and ambulance crew will compete to determine who are the best cooks. A dunk tank and touch a truck display will coincide with the event. The Kitchen Clash will take place on August 6 at the main pavilion.
