St. George playground to become recreational park
Construction is underway to upgrade the playground behind Saint George Church into more of a park. The aging amenities behind Saint George School will be removed this summer. Onward and upward — 35th annual Thurston Classic takes off in Crawford Co. In its place, they're building a new playground, basketball and pickleball courts, and a new bocce ball court with plans to also build a large pavilion for public use. Father Brian Vossler said the bocce courts have been there for 50 years and see 120+ regular players. Lake City Fire Company welcomes community for annual carnival 'We're going to go all summer, probably sometime in the fall, we'll be completed with the project. We've been able to raise more than half of the money for it now, we're looking at probably three-quarters of a million dollars. We've been very good stewards of our funds,' said Vossler. 'It will still be high quality, yet we're being responsible with our funds.' Vossler said the old playground will be re-purposed and donated to a school on Erie's east side.

PI Boat Tours offers update on Lady Kate absence
We have an update on Lady Kate. The boat that provides sightseeing tours has not been moored at Perry Monument, where it usually boards passengers. And a notice on the Presque Isle Boat Tours website informs visitors that the season's opening has been delayed. Lake City Fire Company welcomes community for annual carnival That's because it now sits in amphitheater park. Thursday, Presque Isle Boat Tours President Tim Sedney explained why. He said the Lady Kate is getting needed work done on the drive shaft and plates. The work follows a five-year hull inspection by the Coast Guard. Backyard garage catches fire at West 38th Street home 'We started that process over the winter. But of course, Mother Nature hasn't been on our side. So it's just delayed on and delayed on and delayed us. Coast Guard comes in and they inspect the work as it's being done. And hopefully here this coming up week, we should be launching,' Sedney told us. Sedney said the Coast Guard will do one more inspection when the boat goes in the water. Once that's done, they'll be back in business. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
