El Dorado Summer Recreation Program Sees Record Enrollment
The city backed program for boys and girls reached 3100 enrollments the largest in 14 years. Baseball drew 554 players on 34 teams with seven from nearby towns. Swimming enrolled 600 with lessons by Red Cross instructors. Volunteers and Elks sponsored free movies and contests while city funding supported park facilities and future expansion. Police say the effort helps curb juvenile crime. Director Jim McDonald aims to add more activities and improved facilities next year.
