This view of Dan Malkovich Park, located on the southwest section of the Benton Public Square, is testimony to the skills and hard work of members of the Garden Gate Garden Club, who spend countless hours volunteering their time to achieve such a beautiful setting. Taking advantage of this late-summer visual delight a few days ago were visitors Nancy Stewart, left, and friend Denise Chancey, both of Bonnie. Chancey said, 'I'm camping out at Rend Lake and Nancy came out to visit me today. I had seen this beautiful little park the other day and was telling her about it. So, we decided to drive over and visit it.' Asked if it was worth the trip, Stewart replied, 'Oh my yes! It's absolutely spectacular.'
