Will Rogers fans and park lovers are invited to share the rewarding tasks of ranch maintenance in one of the state’s most scenic locations on Friday and Saturday, April 4 and 5, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Will Rogers State Historic Park. Work teams will paint fences, whitewash the barn, and perform cleanup and minor repairs. For their efforts, attendees will receive free T-shirts. They will also have an opportunity to meet members of Will Rogers’ family, including Jennifer Rogers-Etcheverry, Will Rogers’ great- granddaughter. Chairs of the work day include Etcheverry, Trudi Sandmeir from the Cooperative Association, and Todd Vradenbruh from Motion Picture Pioneers. Lunch will also be provided. And it’s free! The fun, that is. With the park’s future still on the table, supporters of the local park hope a good turnout for the work days might sway Governor Schwarzenegger and his administration to keep the park open.
