District 4 Council member Katy Errington served as a judge for the most original and creative Halloween costume contest entered by the 30 plus children in attendance.
In addition, while the activities were going on, one of the employees of the park noticed a raccoon in a tree with a plastic bottle stuck on its head.
As a Councilor representing the Village of Estero, Errington was approached by a park employee and asked who could be called to remove the bottle from the animal’s head. Errington called the Conservancy of Southwest Florida’s Von Arx Wildlife Hospital and put a staff person in touch with the person who reported the incident in order to resolve the problem.
The Village Councilors get a variety of calls asking for assistance in various matters and this is just another example of how diverse these calls can be, even while attending a fun-filled afternoon at the local Koreshan State Park.
