Parking stickers are already required. Lifeguards arrive soon. Another great beach season is almost here.
But a great beach season does not magically appear. It takes a ton of work. (Literally — moving tons of sand, for example.)
Tammy Barry was at Compo the other day. She saw several crews hard at work, making sure everything was ship-shape for summer.
Tammy thought they were doing unsung work. She’s right. Our Public Works and Parks & Recreation employees do so much, for all of us in Westport.
Unlike Tammy, most of us don’t see the work you do. But we absolutely appreciate it.
