FORT RECOVERY - Residents gathered under sunny skies Sunday afternoon to get their first look at the Cooper Brothers Community Pavilion.

"We were envious of other communities that had a facility like this," mayor Dave Kaup told the more than 50 people at the dedication. "What we've done here is raise the bar to a new level."

Former mayor Roger Broerman said he saw the need for the pavilion in Community Park and had discussed the project for many years. [More]
