Shovels in hand, volunteers from Clarkston Optimists and Friends of Depot Park helped Clarkston DPW reinstall the train and truck play pieces at the new entrance to the park playground, July 25.
In a project that started last spring, the Evan’s Choo-Choo railroad pieces were stripped and recoated by Android Industries of Flint, and Clarkston Cultural Arts artists Denyse Couture and Dana Blust created intricate and ornate artwork for them.
