Nothing could keep Joan Hinterschied, Russells Point councilmember, out of the new village splash pad—a project she’d been working on for several years. In fact, the cool temperatures and light drizzle weren’t a hindrance to those who showed up for the grand opening on Saturday, June 27. 

“Our kids deserve something like this,” Hinterschied said, “and I am so happy we got to this point. It’s a wonderful feeling.”

Friends, supporters and government officials didn’t let a dreary day stop them from attending the grand opening of the Russells Point Splash Pad on Saturday, June 27.

Russells Point Mayor John Huffman told the crowd he appreciated all the hard work that went into the project and the support they’d received throughout the five-year process. “This is for the community,” he added, “but especially for the kids of the community.”
