Skate Pond Needs Volunteers

BOONE, Iowa---Now that the Park Commission and all the Park personnel have met that public outcry to get the skate pond open, some of the public are going to have to step up to help run the shelter house. Park Superintendent Neil Olson says preparations for the skate pond are expected to be completed this week. Initially, the shelter will not be open just because of a lack of staff. Olson says once volunteers step up, plans are to have the shelter open for some regular hours. Those that are interested in helping out should call the Boone City Park Office at 432-6454. Olson says if no one answers, leave a message and they will return your call.
