Both can be chilling, and so they were for the Pinedale Aquatic Center
this week.
Big ribs of steel arrived on site early in the week, along with the giant
WAGSTAFF crane that would strategically place them. By Thursday, the 22nd, the
vertical and horizontal placement of these enormous beams has given us
increased dimension to the evolving addition.
Views from the roof and the high school parking lot (shown here)
illustrate this progress.
Meanwhile, as the beams were being placed, preparation for the annual HAUNTING was frenetically
taking place inside the darkened PAC gymnasium, and the event debuted Thursday
evening the 23rd, hosting over 250 people.
On Friday night (after this
writing), PAC will host an equal or bigger crowd of eager thrill seekers to
bravely find their way through the (very) haunted maze.
This event is the single largest fundraiser at PAC and raises money for
the scholarship fund. This fund allows
eligible youth, adults, and families to take advantage of what PAC has to
offer. From memberships to activity
registrations, PAC scholarship monies encourage participation in healthy, fun,
skill building activity.
PAC Staff and community volunteers join together to make this annual
Halloween event a big hit with the young (not
recommended for those under 8) to the mature thrill seeker. The shock, squeals, screams and shivers are a
testament to the creativity of our staff, infused with the energy and
excitement of those willing to volunteer their time for this fun (and worthy)
cause.
As our facility expands its walls by embracing the new addition, we
foresee even more activities and events that will thrill our stakeholders. By mid-spring, we will celebrate the
completion of the addition and welcome our community in to enjoy all we have to
offer!
