LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, I am once again writing to compel the County Commissioners to put Wonder World on their agenda, and to allow the money they once pledged, to be pledged again to Wonder World, so they can get started on the construction of a safe building that is close to the swimming pool, the elementary school, the park. It is the ONLY location that makes the MOST sense for the Kids! Additionally, if the County does not allow this money to be given for the benefit of Wonder World, our life in the County and the City of Slayton will change.
