The Taylorville Park District is ready to welcome on new board members to join them with new ideas, events, and projects. Four new board members will be sworn in at their next regular monthly meeting on April 28th. Sherri Craggs will hold a two year seat while Blake Heimsness, Evan Mitchell, and Debbie Gatton were all voted in to service four year terms. Jessica Franks, Recreation Director at the Taylorville Park District, discusses the new faces that will represent the Board and their backgrounds.

Franks says their impact will be rather immediate, with the ability to vote on and discuss motions starting this month.

Franks believes the familiarity had between the park district and those incoming, will be beneficial to the Park Board.

Jayne’s Park is the next home for Taylorville Tennis teams. Franks states an initial donation has already been made to open the account and fundraising will begin shortly.

The next event the Taylorville Park District will be putting on is their yearly Easter Egg Hunt. On Saturday, April 19th, Jayne’s Park will be open to kids and family members to hunt down candy and prizes.
