6000 Bricks Goal Set for Youth Work Program
6,000 bricks in one summer drive for the Youth Conservation and Communication Improvement Program at Red Rock State Park. Eighteen youths and three supervisors started June 11, building a mile of fencing, picnic areas, and an erosion control project with the U S Forest Service in McGaffey during an 11 week term. The project aims to produce adobe bricks for a Spanish style ranch to be used for filming and a potential 19th century experience.
