Picnic area takes shape at Thomas Brewer Park
WASHBURN NEWS
Thomas Brewer Park in Washburn will soon have a new picnic area. The Town of Washburn, in conjunction with Washburn Rotary and Recreation Department, are going to place a new picnic area by the benches overlooking the river.
Along with a place to grill your food there will also be a covered picnic table, which is being made by the Washburn High School Woodworking Club. This will be a wonderful added feature to Thomas Brewer Park.
