In what was her last ribbon cutting ceremony as director of Parks and Recreation for Dawson County, Lisa Henson welcomed county employees, county commissioners and friends to the new pool house at Veterans Memorial Park on June 14. After a quick tour of the 1,650 square foot building, which opened to the public June 4, Henson cut the ribbon for the new building, which has replaced the pool house that stood at the front entranced of the park for over 40 years. The new building is 550 bigger than the old, with a new “shack” for lifeguards so that they can take up money, come in out of the sun on rotation, get a snack and sit in the air conditioning- which is also a new and probably the most exciting feature for the whole building.
