M'burgh Rotary Makes Two Big Donations to MCS

Fred Echtner and 157 Concrete donated and installed a new surface on the path to the gazebo and pavilion over the honor soll sign. The ground had settled some by the old walkway and needed leveling. The crusher run surface needed renewing. The Honor Roll sign was just up graded by Dustin Porter, the former Middleburgh Central student who has done all the design and lettering on the Honor Roll sign. This Veterans Day we remember the sacrifices and accomplishments of our Veterans. The town of Fulton Veterans Park continues to be funded and maintained by volunteers. Thank you to all who have contributed.
