ESPARTO PARK IS DEDICATED

Large Number Take Part in Tree planting and Basket Picnic

(Special to the Union)

ESPARTO (Yolo County), March 28.—— With a merry crowd walking the streets of the prosperous little city and old-fashion countryside spirit everywhere prevalent, the brand new Esparto Park was formally dedicated and cast into the sea of “public improvements” today.

The crowd gathered early. Lunch baskets were everywhere in evidence as the families drove in from their homes in the verdant hills and the pretty vales that line Capay valley.

Following out the announced program for the day, “tree-planting was the order” during the morning and early afternoon.

The new Esparto Park was further beautified by the planting of an abundance of new trees of every arboreal family.

After the “tree-planting” there was a baseball game between the Esparto and Winters teams.

The informal Program of speech making included Supervisor M. H. Stitt, G. H. Hecke, H. S. Maddox, Dr. M. O. Wyatt, President of the Bank of Esparto, and other boosters.

A dance tonight in the new Community Hall concluded the day’s festivities.
