Local Girl Scout Troop #46715 addressed the Clearfield Borough Council with a suggestion that they would like to install a weather-proof chest and a step stool for the Gaga ball court in Upper Witmer Park. The chest would serve as storage for various activity equipment such as jump ropes, sand toys, balls and frisbees for the community to use while visiting the park. The box would be positioned against the fence line facing the Clearfield Borough police station so that it would be in view of the cameras across the street. The Girl Scout troop would be putting together the storage box and maintaining it. Vice President Steve Livergood said that he will donate 10 jump ropes to their cause and Operations manager Leslie Stott said that she’ll donate the frisbees.
Code enforcement officer Andrea Stewart encouraged Borough residents to please put their trash cans back to their respective places the evening of their morning pick up.
Mayor Strouse encouraged residents to make sure they get out and enjoy the upcoming Clearfield County Fair and be alert while driving during Fair Week since the area will have a lot of out of town visitors during the week. The Mayor also would like to thank every one that came out in support of the Lady Bisons softball team on Tuesday evening in Lower Witmer Park.
