Taylorville City Council celebrates local youth at its council meeting Monday night. 

That’s Taylorville Mayor Bruce Barry. He says that it’s an honor to have local youth representing Taylorville, as well as youth that help the city in anyway that they can.

Mayor Barry says that he’s excited for the newly opened playground equipment for kids near Lake Taylorville. 

He also talked a little bit about the plans for a new skatepark, which the city council will go over Wednesday night. Mayor Barry hopes this will provide an activity for youth who don’t play traditional sports. 

Mayor Bruce Barry appeared as a guest on the WTIM Morning Show.
