Early spring enveloped Saluda for last Saturday’s McCreery Park fundraiser. Ellen Rogers, one of the organizers and park supporters, noted of the improvement project, “We’re working on it piece by piece.” The first $15,000 has been tagged for ADA (Americans with Disability Act) accessibility at the park’s northwest entrance. Saturday’s activities included square dancing by local youngsters, under Rogers’ instruction, along with music by Todd Neal and Co. Here, Emma Hayford, one of the young square dancers, looks joyous as she practices with her companions, shortly before the group performed, with Rogers calling the dance. (Photo by Mark Schmerling)
