Members of Carlyle’s Dickens Committee are “prepping the parks in the hopes of a June 1` completion date,” according to Dickens chair, Shelly Slykhuis. Volunteers Slykhuis, her husband David, along with Dale and Larry Brady, moved the first of six wrought iron benches to the sites of what will be two small Victorian parks on Carlyle’s Main Street. “This is the next step after the lanterns,” says Slykhuis. “Jason Humphries kindly let us use an area of land north of the optometrists’ office.
The second site will be between the Civic Centre and The Capstone restaurant.” “We’re planning benches, lanterns, and greenery,” she says. “We’re hoping to have everything finished by June 1 at the latest, and we’re looking for sponsors for each of the six benches.” “They will be two nice spots that will enhance our Main Street and continue with the theme of Dickens.”
