In 1973, Vince Genna found an old lifeboat on the Deschutes River, sparking the creation of the iconic tugboat replica at the playground at Harmon Park. BPRD employee Ken Lehto worked his magic to bring this vision to life, and it was dedicated as the P.S. Happy Harmon during a Kiwanis Kid's Day event in June 1974. The boat still sits at Harmon Park today as a beloved fixture for kids and families alike. Who else has fond memories of playing on the P.S. Happy Harmon? ⚓️
