OSSIPEE — About 100 people attended the ribbon-cutting Saturday for the newly restored Deer Run boardwalk and the dedication of the viewing platform overlooking Ossipee Lake at the end of the trail.
The viewing platform was dedicated to the late Jacob McConkey, who assisted with the project. The late Tim Otterbach, who volunteered for Constitution Park in Ossipee, also was recognized for his efforts.
