Area News
The FB Argue Recreation Area
will close for the summer on Sunday, August 23,
2009. The
area will not be open through Labor Day weekend this year
because Labor Day is so late and school starts on
August 26, 2009.
Although there has been a lot of rain this summer, we have
had a successful season running three sessions of swimming
lessons, open swimming, bingo, duck hunt, and sand castle
building contests. Thank you to all of our patrons
throughout the summer.
