Summary

In April 1972, volunteers built twelve more picnic tables for St. James Township. Wogan Construction Company pre-cut the pieces and delivered them to Beaver Haven Marina, where volunteers nailed and painted the tables in roughly six hours. The Beaver Beacon says the twelve joined eight tables built the previous year, for a stated total of 20.
