Local officials cut the ribbon and officially opened the newly-rebuilt Pickens Pool at 515 West 20th Ave. Admission for today only is free thanks to Crisp County Commissioners Larry Felton and James Nance, who pledged to reimburse the Crisp County Recreation Department so that local children could enjoy the opening day of the facility at no cost.
