JPRD Board 1_17The Jefferson Parks and Recreation Board met on Wednesday.

The Board voted unanimously to discontinue the Steven Silbaugh Memorial Wrestling Tournament. The wrestling tournament was cancelled earlier this month, due to a skin virus that affected the Greene County High School wrestling team. It was mentioned that the organizers of the tournament wanted to make this year the final year, before the cancellation was announced.

Other items the Board discussed included: doing necessary repairs to the Greene County Community Center ahead of the 20th anniversary celebration later this year; applying for grants for the walking trail at Daubendiek Park, replacing the gym floor in the community center and a frisbee golf course at Daubendiek Park; and volunteering for this weekend’s basketball tournament for Jeramie Hinote and the JPRD basketball tournament on February 3rd and 10th.

The Board also approved a request to use the gym on February 24th for a volleyball tournament.
