Hanging flower baskets will adorn the city street lights along Bank, Cedar, Pine and Sixth Streets, with benches and flower pots strategically placed throughout town to add to the effect. The City parking lot at the former Samuels Hotel location will be bordered by an 18 foot wide natural landscape of trees, boulders, shrubs, annuals and perennials, complete with a drinking fountain and a display of the former historic Hotel. Over the summer, work will continue to replace the wooden stairs on the south hill, along with a landscape treatment for the cribbing that borders the east side of the viaduct. This is an exciting project that will add to the beauty of Historic Wallace for both locals and visitors. Call Valerie at 753-7151 for information about community activities, festivals and volunteer opportunities.
Most days see an average of over twenty kindergarten to teenage participants using the facility.
Activities and resources include ping-pong, pool, board games, puzzles, arcade games, videos and music. Staffing is provided by about thirty volunteers. Due to it's popularity and limited space, the Wallace Youth Center will adopt new hours and policies in April. The expanded hours will be divided into two time periods and age groups. If you have questions or are interested in helping the Wallace Youth Association in their efforts, call Jamie at 752-7035.
