ELKINS Elkins Mayor Jerry Marco helped plant a tree in Glendale Park Friday as part of local Arbor Day celebrations.
“As part of my former job I used to travel quite a bit around the world,” Marco said during the tree-planting ceremony. “I have to say, the one thing I always loved was coming back to West Virginia, and seeing the green trees and the rivers and everything about this state that makes it so special.”
