The Dot Rogers Memorial Park

Last night was the grand opening of the newest park in Faro.  The park has been open since late June, but the big ceremony was a little later in coming.  One of the reasons the ceremony was held a bit later was to allow the community a chance to vote on the name for the new park.  Everyone was encouraged to submit a name for the park and then later on vote for their favorite.

We submitted a few names and the boys even got in on it.  When I asked Cavan what he thought the park should be called he said, "Poodit Park".  I have no clue.  Hunter went with the obvious, "Park Behind My House".  I submitted them as a joke to our rec manager but then she put them on the ballot form!  Oh my.  I am sure Poodit confused a lot of people!  Thankfully people were smart when then came to voting!

The new park has been named in honour of a resident that passed away a couple of years ago, Dot Rogers.  She was a lovely and kind woman that is much missed from Faro.

The party held at the park last night was fantastic.  There was a bison burger bbq, desserts, music, prizes, and of course the park to play on!
