$676 from the fund has been spent,
in addition to a number of recent
donations. "We had a temporary
stage here on the river during last
year's River Festival, and several
people suggested it would be nice to
have a permanent one, with seat-
ing," Mr Hodges said. A group of citi-
zens have worked since early April
excavating the area and placing the
concrete ties in place.
"This is going to be one of the
biggest attractions for the Island
Park complex and the City of Ron-
ceverte in the future," Mr Hodges
said. "We hope to be able to bring
entertainment in throughout the
summer season. We want the am-
phitheater to be used for a lot of dif-
ferent occasions and purposes."

Snapper. For more than thirty years
the name people have looked to for
quality and dependability. In fact,
some folks are still mowing with the
Snapper rider they bought 20 years ago.
It's no wonder that more Americans buy Snapper's
rear engine riders than any other brand. So if
you want the highest
quality and the best =
value, you'll have to
visit your ioc.al
