The first involved blood being smeared all over the bathroom. The second incident at that location involved mud all over the restrooms. The new restroom on Main Street was vandalized just prior to Heritage Days. This time the culprits were spotted still inside the building by the worker who waters the Main Street flowers. She detained the children until the police arrived. These chidren were talked to and they were banished from all Huntington city properties. Another incident occurred after this at the concession stand restrooms. These restrooms have now been closed. Everyone is asked to keep an eye out for city property and if you see people damaging city properties to call the city hall and the sheriff’s office.
