MARSHALL, Ill. (WTWO/WAWV) – A local community will finally get to enjoy a new pool.
After four years of fundraising and building, the new pool in Marshall, Illinois, will be opening soon.
There will be an open house and ribbon cutting event on Saturday, May 18 at 11 A.M. CST.
The 6,000 square foot pool includes a giant slide, climbing wall and lots of fun features for kids.
“My main motivation is the kids because they need a place to play in the summer. They don’t need to be in front of the computer screen. They don’t need to be in front of the television screen. They need to be out playing,” says fundraising chair Sara Tarble.
