LUSK – A little bit of class was recently added to downtown Lusk, be- tween Allbright’s True Value and Lorn Heth’s office. This touch of style came with the addition of a pergola, picnic tables, drums and xylophones. The pocket park was landscaped with colorful plants and wall art, which included a postcard picture. All these elements come together into an area for walkers to rest and tourists and locals to enjoy.

Lusk ROCS (Revitalize Our Community Spirit) is a volunteer group that
works to improve the appearance and quality of downtown and to create economic growth. Lusk ROCS volun- teers completed the pocket park with the completion of a mural by Lisa Norman. The picnic tables were do- nated by the Niobrara County Fair Board.
“We are extremely grateful for the Lusk Rec Grant and for the Niobr- ara Conservation District for helping with the landscaping and all of the community members who have donated time, energy and money,” said Twila Barnette, the President of Lusk ROCS.
