Serving Greencastle and area since 1900...

Which certainly qualifies the statement, “How fast time goes when you're having fun." S.C. Prevo came to Greencastle from Clark County, Illinois in 1900 to establish the model clothing store. He had definite and well-grounded ideas of service, and these same ideals which furnish the basis for Prevo's standard of service today, enable him to develop the business rapidly. Changes have been made over the years to stay in tune with the times and people. Now in it's eighty-fifth year, Prevo's has it's first female manager, Mrs. Joyce Hanlon, who with her husband Gary, have purchased the corporation and are carrying on the high standard of excellence in merchandise and service to the people of Greencastle and the surrounding area. Prevo's brings the latest of fashion and accessories from New York, Chicago and California to the ladies of Greencastle. Added this year are the Elizabeth Arden cosmetic line and an updated children's department. Expanding this coming year will be the mezanine and Junior department. Why not come in this week, for your early selection of fall wardrobe needs.

...and a time to play Variety of indoor, outdoor recreation abounds in county

By BARBARA CARHART Banner-Graphic Staff Writer Development of a 50-acre recreational facility on Greencastle’s north side has been the talk of city planners in 1985. City officials now are awaiting word from the state’s Division of Natural Resources about a grant that would allow the city to purchase the tract of land. A five-year master plan for the city’s recreational needs includes the proposed new park featuring athletic fields, trails and modular playground equipment. “Within five years, we should have an ultra-fine facility,’’ said Paul Wilson, president of the Greencastle Park and Recreation Board. IN THE MEANTIME, the 29,000 residents of Putnam County enjoy a variety of other recreational facilities and special events designed to provide activity throughout the year. Here’s a sampling of what’s available: PARKS State parks: There are six state parks within an hour’s drive of Greencastle. They include Richard Lieber, Raccoon, McCormick’s Creek, Shades, Shakamak and Turkey Run. Available activities include camping, fishing, boating, hiking and swimming. Robe-Ann Park: This 21-acre recreational area is owned by the City of Greencastle and managed by a park and recreation board. Once a dairy farm, the property now features lighted tennis courts, swimming pool, lighted softball diamond, basketball courts, shelter houses, rest rooms and playground equipment. Tri Kappa, a local sorority, currently is raising funds for a modular play gym to be located on the north side of the park. The new equipment is expected to arrive this fall and will be the first of a three-phase project to update playground facilities. JAYCEE PARK: Located immediately southeast of Greencastle, the park is privately managed by the Jaycees, a local service organization, under a lease agreement with the city. A resident groundskeeper maintains the park, which offers hiking, fishing and picnicking. Cloverdale Park: Situated in the county’s secondlargest community, the park is governed by a threemember board. Picnic and restroom facilities already are provided and a softball diamond is being planned. Roachdale Park: Located in the northern Putnam County town of Roachdale, the community park offers playground equipment and picnicking. SPECIAL EV ENTS Putnam County Fair: Scheduled annually during the last of July and first of August, the week-long fair showcases the county’s 4-H program. Exhibits range from livestock to arts and crafts in both 4-H and open classes. Fair week is ushered in by the annual parade through downtown Greencastle featuring the queen and her court, floats and bands. Fun Day: Fourth of July Fun Day in Greencastle recently marked its seventh year at Robe-Ann Park. Family activities throughout the day include free swimming in the park pool, a variety of games and contests and musical entertainment. Thousands pack the park at
