In the middle of the afternoon on Saturday, June 25 members of the community gathered to celebrate the return of the lifeguards to Pritchard Beach after a two-year absence. In addition to a meet and greet with city council members Richard Conlin and Nick Licata, the two council members who pushed hardest to have the funds released for the lifeguards, there were light refreshments provided along with music by the group Steel Drum Journey. Some of the key people that have helped re-establish lifeguard service at Pritchard Beach are Rebecka McKinney (left) with her children Summer (in arms) and Jared (next to her) Valerie Rose, Richard McIver, Lifeguards- Brandon Walton, Alicia Ginsberg, Andrew Schlamp and head lifeguard Danorton-, Leslie Ashbaugh, Nick Licata and Pat Manuele.[[In-content Ad]]
