Fresno Scraper Update

The Historical Committee has erected an information board relating to the Fresno Scraper that was used in the construction of Crystal Park roads in the early days of the Park. It's located adjacent to the partially restored scraper at the Clubhouse. The roofed sign mount was designed and constructed by the Historical Committee and the board itself was designed and made by Microcrafts Graphics and Displays, located at 3626 North Stone in Colorado Springs. Microcrafts does excellent work and their prices are very reasonable. More information on the Fresno Scraper is contained in an earlier post on this blog.
