A Dedication Ceremony appreciating the work and legacy of Grafton Lakes State Park’s former Park Manager, Tom Conklin, was held on Saturday, September 6, and drew 200 friends and family members. Tom Conklin’s contributions to local recreation and family experiences led to local people wanting to appreciate him. The Conklin program tent was named in his honor as well as two trails, Conklin Pass and Conklin Way. As seen here, visitors enjoyed a potluck picnic, and live music was provided by Hill Hollow Band and River Road. Photo courtesy of Elizabeth Wagner, Park Naturalist.
