Pool opening delayed
Last Friday
the pool suffered a setback when the boiler room “almost” caught on fire. Thanks
to the people who saw the smoke and reported it and to the quick response of the
Pierce Volunteer Fire Dept. and everyone else who came to help, a complete
disaster was avoided. There was a lot of smoke and oil fumes in the pool area.
The pool is now scheduled to open on Monday June 28. Swimming lessons will begin

Time is
flying, and soon the big weekend will be upon us. Are you ready for fun? Just so
everyone is prepared, make sure that any visitors you have invited have a place
to stay ahead of time. Whether it is your home, your backyard, a motel or RV
park in town, secure those plans now. Prevailing thought is that Pierce is going
to increase dramatically in population Aug. 6-8, and making certain that people
are comfortable will be very important. This is the “Big One” for Pierce's
sesquicentennial.
