DOVER—
A small team of dedicated volunteers descended on the Rotary Arts Pavilion on Saturday, April 25th as part of Dover Main Street’s Dover Pride Clean Up Day. In just under three hours, the pavilion was cleaned and painted and the seating area was swept and cleared of weeds and debris.
“The Rotary Pavilion is the summer home of the Cochecho Arts Festival and the renewed Seacoast Irish Festival,” commented Chamber Executive Director Kirt Schuman. “Since the Chamber is one of the primary users of the stage, we felt it our obligation to pitch in to get it ready for the upcoming season. It was great that the Rotary Club of Dover partnered with us on this effort.”
Schuman was joined by Cochecho Arts Festival Committee Member, Tom Lavasseur, of Beacon Retirement Group along with Rotarians Sean Fitzgerald, Tom Humprheys and Peter Widmark. Central Paint and Coating assisted with materials and expertise.
Dover Recreation Director Gary Bannon noticed the improvement early on Sunday Morning as he was setting up for the Red’s Race for a Better Community, the first user of the enhanced facility.
“The City of Dover truly appreciates the work put in by the Dover Chamber of Commerce and the Dover Rotary Club to repair and paint the Rotary Pavilion at Henry Law Park. It is one of the most active facilities that the City owns with many large and small events held there each year. It is really one of the faces of Dover that most people see and the image of the City is reflected in some way by its condition. This project has really helped us prepare for what we see as a busy summer season of activities and the benefits from the work by these two very civic minded and generous organizations will be appreciated by all who attend.”
The Seacoast Irish Festival takes place at the Rotary Pavilion on Saturday, June 12th and the Cochecho Arts Festival runs from July 4th through Aug. 13th. FMI: visit www.dovernh.org.
