In Partnership With Local Government Darren Doyle, story and photos: Local faces installed the first part of some new learning activities for kids and their parents today at Chalybeate Park, thanks to a donation from United Way of Southern Kentucky, in conjunction with local county government. UWSKY has helped construct "Born Learning Trails" in area parks that include 10 interactive signs that offer fun learning activities for young children and their families. The signs instruct children with a learning activity involving counting, shapes, colors, and more. The signs were installed today by Edmonson County Judge/Executive Scott Lindsey, EC Parks Director A.B. Webb, and UWSKY volunteer coordinator for Glenview Trust Company, Craig Browning.
Browning said concrete pads will be constructed soon with painted activities that coordinate with some of the signs, which are placed around the playground area at the park. Judge Lindsey said that it's always positive anytime you can provide more activities for children. "We're thankful to be partnered with United Way and offer something new for our kids and parents," he said. "This seems like something families will enjoy." Browning said United Way is supplying the materials and local government is planning to provide the labor to complete the project.

It's nice to see anything done for the children in Edmonson County. As we all know the amount of children in Edmonson County is growing. I just wish we could put more and do more. After all the children are our future and any investment in them will come back tenfold.
