Fairgrounds fish pond is under repair
The city and county are working together to get pond fish-ready by this spring
It may be an aggressive timeline, but Blake Fonnesbeck wants to see kids fishing the Jefferson County pond by this spring. I think it would definitely benefit the community to have something like that this spring to be able to get out and enjoy, especially for the youth. Fonnesbeck, Jefferson County s new building and grounds director, says the pond s original clay surface leaked. Badly. So badly a layer of dead fish covered the remnant puddle of water. That was when the pond was leaking so bad we just didn t have water to keep filling it, and it leaked out in a very short time.
