Ribbon-cutting held for playground at Ansonia Nature and Recreation Center

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held Saturday morning for the new playground at the Ansonia Nature and Recreation Center. The playground was designed by Larry Janesky, at right, owner of Connecticut Basement Systems in Seymour. He built it with the help of his employees, and members of the Valley United Way Corporate Volunteer Council.
