The area commonly known as Parsons Corner, located at the intersection of Routes 21 and 33 in Ripley, will hopefully be receiving a makeover.
Linda Dickirson, member of the City of Ripley Beautification Committee, presented a preliminary plan to the city council at its May 18 meeting. Additions proposed were a wrought iron fence with gate opening, benches, landscaping and brick walkways. Currently, the lot is empty with no landscaping. In the past it’s been used for Santa’s workshop and formerly was the location of an events sign. Rod Parsons donated the area to the city in 2015.

There was much to celebrate at the April 6 meeting of the Ripley City Council.
The Ripley High School archery team was recognized for its winning the West Virginia state archery championship for the 14th year in a row.
Coach Roy Bennett and Assistant Coach Clarence Canterbury spoke about the dedication of their team members. With the challenge that the health pandemic forced onto sports, this victory was especially meaningful.
“It was a different format,” said Bennett. “These kids are used to shooting against someone, but this year it was a virtual tournament. They really stepped up.”
Canterbury said that he and Bennett had coached many of these students in middle school.
