New Swimming Pool

Our small town has been having a drive now for about a year in order to get together enough money to put in a brand new swimming pool. I heard the old one was losing water at the rate of 15,000 gallons a month, I believe it was and it was very old. Everyone helped out with fund raising. Companies in town gave sizable checks to the fund to help build the pool. They were able to start construction this fall and all the kids are pretty excited about it. It is going to have all the fountains, water slides and much more. It will be a big draw from other small towns around as now they have to travel as much as 50 miles to get to the nice new pool in another town. I think other small towns are having fund drives too now so that they can put in pools too. It is a great place for both adults and kids to spend alot of hot summer hours. I heard they are now having fund drives to also put in a new shelter house for picnics, etc. That will be another great addition to the town. We have an active, growing small town with more and more activities for the kids. Good idea.
