Volunteers recognized at Spring Recreation Expo
Snohomish County Parks & Recreation will honor several volunteers at this year's Spring Recreation Expo on Saturday, April 30, at 4p.m.
Volunteer efforts extend the parks department's budget so that staff can focus on maintaining other areas in the county's parks system. Volunteer and leveraged labor efforts contributed nearly 50,000 hours toward parks maintenance and operation in 2010.
Those honored include Joyce Altaras (Lake Stickney Conservancy), Beth Hill and Bea Randall (Snohomish County Trail Coalition), Forrest Clark (Everett Mountaineers), Brian Crowley (Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance), Duane Usitalo for introducing salmon into Lund's Gulch, Jim Brauch, Everett Steelhead & Salmon Club), Joan Deutsch and Mike Kozak (Friends of Lord Hill) and the Cross family (Friends of Heybrook Ridge).

 Sun shades installed adjacent to the spray feature make a comfortable area for parents to lay out a picnic lunch or simply sit back and relax while keeping an eye on their youngsters playing in the water, on the playground equipment or in the sand box next to the spray feature.
