Coal Grove’s Paul Porter Park Christmas display is completed and lights are on.

Thanks to some good citizens of Coal Grove, Ironton and South Point who contacted the Coal Grove Betterment Club and made generous donations toward the purchase of electric supplies which were taken from the park without consent.

The work was completed by Jae Roush’s contributing many hours of labor, Judge Clark Collins for supplying laborers daily, the village employees for working alongside us and all the members of the Coal Grove Betterment Club, including my wife, Vickie.

On behalf of the village and the Betterment Club, we appreciate the generosity of the following donors: Danny and Angie Sullivan, Tom Jones, Sam and Carolyn Hall, John Suiter, John Havel, Gary Leach, the Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce and Phillips Funeral Home.

A friend in need is a friend indeed.
