Pinecrest Gardens To Charge Small Admission Fee

jenniferwollmann — Sat, 02 Oct 2010 02:55:32 +0000

Pinecrest Gardens will be charging a minor entrance fee. $3.00 for adults and $2.00 for children is all it will cost to spend a beautiful day cruising the gardens. Children will love feeding the fish, looking for turtles, visiting the butterfly garden, going to the petting zoo, playing on the playground or splashing in the water park. Although many people have been enjoying the park for free, the Village of Pinecrest decided to reinstate an admission fee, though much lower than previous fees, to help cover the $1.5 million it costs to maintain the gardens and increase the programing.

Pinecrest Pioneers Celebrate Birthdays at Pinecrest Gardens

jenniferwollmann — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 18:21:36 +0000

Five Pinecrest Pioneers, Pinecrest residents that are 90 years young or over, celebrated their birthdays at a luncheon hosted by Pinecrest Mayor Cindy Lerner and sponsored by Whole Foods. The Pioneers shared their stories of when and why they moved to Pinecrest and what has kept them here for 3 decades or more. Many of their reasons for moving here are the same reason more recent residents have made the move:

size of yards
friendly neighborhood great for raising children
the public schools.

Their memories of what has changed:

addition of traffic lights on 67 ave.
a large bean field with crop dusting planes
an airport/landing strip
a pony rink where children would ride

Lori, with Whole Foods Catering, provided a beautiful lunch and birthday cake as well as flowers and goody bags for the Pioneeers.
