Erin Rutherford, 4, left, and Jordyn Primo, 7, both of Carbondale, run through the water spray Wednesday during Chill Out in the Park, an event sponsored by the Carbondale Park District, at Parrish Park. The Carbondale Fire Department has participated for several in the park district’s event, which provides a water spray for area children to play in on Wednesdays during the hot summer months. Carla Rutherford, of Carbondale, said the event is great during the summer for kids to play outdoors and cool off at the same time. “It gives them something fun to do,” she said. The last Chill Out in the Park event is Aug. 7 from 1 – 2 p.m. at Turley Park.
