Scout project #2 has been completed! Bob Lyon's son, Graham Lyon,
along with many scouts and adult helpers, has recreated the historic
carousel ticket booth. Slightly larger and much more ornate, the
booth has been chosen as a naming right by Chemung Canal
Trust Company. Thanks to this philanthropic organization,
we thrust forward in our efforts to raise $750,000. Jim Pryslak,
of Pryslak Design Inc., is responsible for the Chemung
Canal logo shield which has been affixed to the front of the ticket
booth. This sign will forever remind all who frequent the Park,
of how dedicated this lending institution is to its community.
On October 29th the ticket booth was unveiled by Chemung Canals
CEO, Jan UpDegraf, Jim Pryslak and Graham Lyon
at the carousel building before the excited onlookers. The event
was tastefully covered by WETM, WENY and newspaper reporters from
Binghamton, Sayre, Corning and Elmira. As always, we are forever
grateful to the press as they bring about positive project awareness.
