Park Zoo and Grotto at Bay City Inspire Local Pride
A winter project at Bay City draws large crowds to a lake area serving as a park and feeding site. A graded diamond for ball play, a parochial school nearby, and an athletic park with swings, bars, and a bowling alley are described. A noted feature is a caveinspired grotto with stones from the Black Hills and LaCrosse, and a cross embedded with gems. Father Dobberstein has amassed minerals, built a six foot cement cross, and placed stones for a colorful display. His work reflects taste, conservation, and service rather than profit.
