Creswell and Cottage Grove Kiwanis clubs recently signed up to sponsor a portion of the handicapped bench, or ”chariot” on the Friends of the Cottage Grove Carousel, of which there are four. On the carousel, there is an open space to anchor wheelchairs in place, positioned next to the care providers’ seats, if assistance is needed. Because the carousel platforms are about eight inches off the ground, it requires a disabled-accessible ramp, for which the committee is working on writing a grant for. The space for the wheelchair portion is still available for sponsorship by another organization. For more info, or to donate: Don Williams 541-942-4752 or 541-953-3444.
