Putnam Recreation Department is OUTSTANDING!

Most towns have Recreation Departments.

No big surprise that our own Putnam also has a Recreation Department then.

The big surprise is that these town employees are all secretly SUPER HEROS!

A few events held in town this summer point as direct proof of this secret knowledge...think about it...

Exhibit #1: Car Cruise. Over 3000 cars were on display throughout downtown, closing down most streets to driving traffic, allowing foot traffic and food & drink vendors only. Thousands of people attended the car show, on top of all the car owners themselves. I drove through town at about 7pm that night, and not a speck of litter or any other disturbance was in sight. Clearly Super Heroic effort only could complete that task.

Exhibit #2: French Canadian Fest/River Fire: Just this past Saturday, these events took place in Rotary Park, attracting thousands once again. No French Canadian fest would be complete without tons of food! There was plenty, and also lots of litter. This crew also stoked the River Fires all night. Once again, early the next morning, the place was immaculate and looked as if it had not been used in years! Super Hero work for sure.

So, keep your eyes and ears open for a cape tucked into a pair of work pants, you will know it is one of the fine Putnam Rec Dept employees. Don't blow their cover, but a big thank you and pat on the back will do. We are lucky to have them!
