The pool has been painted and began filling on Friday May 16. The Bogota High School also completed some community service hours today. Some members of the board of trustees have done some work helping the pool get ready for opening.

The pool is about 1/2 filled at 10:30 am. The pool would have been more filled but there was a power outage that tripped the circuit breakers. Pat Clark was able to reset the breaker.

Most of the chips ended up on the floor
