DeTurk Round Barn Update, Videos, Photos

Author: Lea Barron-Thomas

• Tuesday, August 03rd, 2010

The DeTurk Round Barn Project is still moving forward. The Dog park was opened July 16th and the Barn itself was settled back down on it’s new foundation July 19th. At this point, they are continuing to work on the wood framing. The old roof is now being removed in preparation for the new roof. The new sidewalk and corner at Donahue and W. 8th Street is now in progress. The hope is that the project will be finished by the end of October- but this is subject to change due to varied circumstance.

The West End Neighborhood Association is planning a special event in celebration of the finished project. More information as it becomes available.

8-2-10 Barn is getting a new roof

It’s been a busy summer with lots of events and activities. The West End Neighborhood website has videos and photo galleries that highlights many of these great times. Recent Videos include:

Author: Lea Barron-Thomas

West End Summer Bocce’s Opening night was a reunion of neighbors and an introduction to new friends. Todd Barricklow’s Taco Bike- his newest moving artwork (with an extremely useful twist) was a huge hit. For photos from the 2010 Bocce season- click here!

Todd's amazing Taco Bike

The 116th Luther Burbank Rose Parade was well attended. It been a great year for roses- thanks to all neighbors who shared their blooms. Congratulations are in order- Klank-Boom-Clank won an award for the Self Propelled Group and also the Sweepstakes Award for Best Unit in Parade.

DeTurk Round Barn Park’s construction project did not hamper the Sunday Pug Play date. A plentiful pack of pugs showed up- with a few poodles and bichons mixed in. For photos from the DeTurk Dog Park- click here!

AMGEN Tour of CA 2010- It still rained this year, even though it was May but fans showed up to cheer on the cyclists. Many West Enders were on hand to witness the cyclists scream down Wilson Street- through the heart of the West End and Railroad Square. Click here! ( Thanks to City Councilmember Gary Wysocky for his leadership in keeping the race on Wilson Street.) In spite of the rain, the Baby Seal Club gave a terrific performance and a few of their die hard fans braved the rain to see them in action. To see them in action Click Here!
