Washington Kansas Campground

Thank you and two thumbs up to the Washington City Council.  The City has erected a new sign and policy at the campground -- a $10 per night charge has been instituted. Most people, I think, expect to pay "something" to stay overnight at a campground especially when water and electricity and showering facilities are provided.  Also, few other area cities have their campgrounds adjecent to a creek or river like us.

Washington Population

Last night in my presentation to the Annual Washington Chamber of Commerce's meeting and Supper, I remember saying and emphasizing the results of the 2000 Census.   Yes, this concerns me.   However, what really concerns me is the trend. 

Washington County Kansas has a long, well established downtrend in population.

What steps are we going to take to to reverse this trend?  I am very aware there are some that really don't care. 

On the left are the official population statistics from the Federal Government for Washington County Kansas.

Here is link for more stats for ALL counties in Kansas and the state of Kansas. Kansas Census

Change is inevitable . . . growth is optional.

Special Thanks goes to Bob's Locker of Washington for catering a very nice meal (I just love their BBQ sauce)
