The children s two-story playhouse, which was built several years ago, is designed with a scaled-down kitchen, a center circular stairway, a recessed ballet floor and skylights. —o— VA N BUREN Town sh i p Trustee Marcia Baumgartner wants the people of the township to know that the next government surplus distribution will be held on Thursday, Feb. 8.
