Chester Park Sign Painted!

The Chester Park sign, pictured at right, was painted and turned so that our visitors could see our beautiful park both coming and going. Thanks go to Cal Thurber for this most recent rennovation. Cal built the original sign while a student in the woodshop class at Chester High School in the late 70's. Thank you Cal for being such a long time community volunteer!

Please Be Patient With Us


The Adopt a Flower Box Program is alive and well.  Flowers were planted in liners in May. They are beautiful and growing and just waiting for a box.
