Show Lindon Plans City Fair Lindon City employees are busy making improvements at the Lindon City Park as preparations begin for the city fair which will be held Sept. 19. Mark Palesh, city administrator, said the improvements are a part of the overall plan to improve the entire park area. At present the crews are working on a little children's playground area, a new "jungle gym" type structure, and placement of sand throughout the play area. He said that railroad ties donated by the Union pacific Railroad are being used around the sand areas to keep if off the grass. Sod under the present swing, teeter-totters teeter-totters and tots area was sold to help pay the cost of the crews and sod cutting equipment, Mr. Palesh said. The overall project, which has been developed under the direction of Councilman Orval Mecham will include in-clude moving the ball diamonds to the top of the hill south of the park. Mr. Palesh said some donations have already been made to install lights at the ball diamonds when they are moved. He said the diamonds will probably be moved sometime next year. He added that the city would like to plant more trees and perhaps put in barbecue type cookers in an area of the park for picnic use. The city fair will feature various contests all day long and a fireworks display in the evening. All citizens are invited to plan for this day-long event. |
