Pat's Playground at SWS

Our wonderful playground SWS is there because of many people. The Wetzel family turned the tragic loss of their son into something for our community to enjoy. Along with the Wetzel family, many of their friends and family have supported Pat's Playground from the very beginning. Thank you to everyone assoicated with the Wetzel family and our SWS family who came together in 2016 to turn a small parking lot into a wonderful place for children.
