In June of this year, 11 year old Hunter Ebie was swimming at Conneaut Township Park and was caught in the rip tide and lost his life, His body was discovered 4 days later. John Repasky for his Eagle Scout project is proposing to build 4 Kiosks to be placed on and around the beach. On the kiosk there will be posters that will have information on rip tides as well as a first aid kit and a QR code which, when used will give the current conditions of the lake. The Conneaut Elks donated $500 towards his project.
