The Russellville Parks and Recreation Department recently honored longtime employee Brenda Blankenship upon her retirement after 27 years of serving as the department’s clerk.

Park and Rec director Chad Sears said they wished Blankenship the best and they would certainly miss her.

“Brenda was a big help to us and we appreciate her dedicated service to this department for so many years,” Sears said.
