    This is fantastic! Horse people use this area all of the time and it is great to see the county adding a much needed structure. Everyone will be able to use it, dog clubs, flea markets, farmer stands, the list is endless. I realize that the porta potty is not great but it is better than nothing and they are always clean. Thank you county commissioners, we very much appreciate it.

    Now aint that cute! We ask for some running water and improved restrooms at our little old county park, and all we get is the run around. lots of political promises but no effort. tax payers can pay for the porta potty that still sitting at Sandy Landing, but only hunting club members are allowed to use it while they launch their boats at their private launch paid for by the taxpayer. wake up tax payers, here goes another hand washing for the powers in charge.
