Letter from the Supervisors

OK … so by comparison , this winter wasn ’ t too bad . Not our usual 100 inches of snow . Few sub-zero temperatures . A fairly mild March led us to believe Punxsutawney Phil might know what he ’ s doing . Then came April . Snow and record cold temperatures had the poor daffodils totally confused . Better weather has finally arrived . Let ’ s enjoy . Last year at this time , we were introducing readers to Millcreek ’ s newest addition to our parks system , Bridger Park . In this issue , readers are getting a look at another new recreational option , the Veterans Park Picnic Pavilion . The Pavilion would be a great place for family reunions , birthday and graduation parties .
As is always the case , our summer edition of In Millcreek includes lots of valuable information on recycling . The very popular Millfair Recycling Center , is open for business and offering several different products to help beautify your yard . It ’ s a great place to properly dispose of your tree branches and leaves left behind by winter . This edition also has information about some upcoming recycling events , like compost workshops , paper shredding and tire collection .
Summertime usually means family vacations . Our Millcreek Police Department is offering some helpful ways to keep your home safe while out of town .
Our area has so much to offer … in every season . Summer in Erie though , is unbeatable . We have the # 1 Best Freshwater Beaches ( check out the article ), fishing , boating , hiking , golf , picnicking , baseball , the list is endless . Get out and have some fun .

Presque Isle :

Freshwater Beach

Something that our community has known for years was recently confirmed in a USA Today 10 Best Readers ’ Choice contest . Voters in the contest chose Presque Isle State Park as the nation ’ s Best Freshwater Beach . Nineteen other beaches from across the country were also competing for the title .
The top five beaches on the list were West Beach in Indiana at number five ; North Beach in Racine , Wisconsin at number four ; Park Point Beach in Duluth , Minnesota came in third and Grand Haven State Park in Michigan was runner-up to our own Presque Isle .
The USA Today ’ s 10 Best is a website used by travelers , offering places to see and visit on their trips throughout the country . Making that list is impressive . Being at the top of the list can be a big boost for the local tourist industry .
Thanks to those who voted and helped make Presque Isle # 1 !
