PARKS ~ RECREATION -Bill Thomas Mr. Thomas reported that the Office on Aging and the Recreation Department are looking for more participants to go on an Ogelbay Festival of Lights which is going to be Friday, December 1St. Anyone interested should please contact the departments. Last week, we took 320 participants on our second annual Polar Express, part of the Cuyahoga Valley trip. Mr. Thomas received a little note today which read, "A great big thank you for the opportunity to purchase 11 tickets for the Polar Express. The children were thrilled.

It was sent by Patricia Groesel who lives on Deepwood Lane. Mr. Thomas stated that another individual also went on the trip and asked her to comment on it. Mrs. Betsa reported that her family very much so enjoyed it. She did not even realize there was a train back there. Her children had a great time. Their jammy bash.
