City workers could be seen on Wednesday, Oct. 21, taking the fountain out of McGuire Lake.
“This is when you know it’s fall,” remarked Teneal Crossman.
“It’s sad,” added Hugh Bennett, explaining the fountain has to be taken out before the lake freezes – and a cold weekend is forecast.
They used a small boat to tow the cables and fountain back to shore before loading into onto a flat-deck truck.
It’ll be cleaned and stored, ready for next spring.
