Another project completed because you participated in the Shinnston Turkey Trot! We wanted to make the Sue Ann Miller Trail Head Pavilion a little more versatile and inviting, so we had Prunty Electrical Contracting to install overhead lights, dusk to dawn lighting and some motion lights to keep our beloved trail head lit up and secure!
