Great news from our friends on the Ohio River. Thanks Dr. Drew Feight.

Hopefully Pike County Park District will be able to accomplish some similar amazing things. They have been meeting a diverse segment of Pike Countians as they have criss-crossed the county. Providing public meetings to ask and learn what each area, needs provided, in terms of public park space.

Hat's off and Happy Birthday to Judge Paul Price, who had the foresight to get this Park District created and started in Pike County, in the first place.
