NORWICH – The Elks Lodge 1222 had a successful weekend in the newly finished East Park on Saturday, said Exalted Ruler Jeff Cola.

The event drew a crowd of a couple hundred people and was an opportunity for the public to both admire the new park and get an idea what the Elks Lodge does for the community, he said.

“It was a great event, with great entertainment and the park couldn’t look more beautiful.”

Entertainment was provided by the Beadle Brothers, who took advantage of the new stage to play their set. There was also a face-painter and barbecue pulled pork provided by the Elks Lodge.
