Harley Wales, Kalkaska village president, was another person to join in and help pull weeds at the Imagination Station on Saturday. The effort included as many as 18 volunteers showing up to do a variety of cleanup and maintenance duties to prep the park on Laurel Street in Kalkaska for a busy summer season. Despite the hours of work performed on June 9, organizers said another work-bee might be needed later this summer or in the early fall.
