Ellsworth, KS — A fresh look and renewed sense of identity now greet visitors to the Ellsworth Health and Recreation Center, thanks to a collaborative signage project between the Ellsworth Recreation Center and Cashco.
The initiative began when Recreation Director Ron Tenbrink sought to enhance the visibility of the newly renovated facility.
“I was looking for a way to add some signage to the renovated Ellsworth Health and Recreation Center and I know Cashco did some signage for the school district, so that is where I got the idea to connect with Cashco,” Tenbrink said. “The goal was to have visible signage from the road so that people knew what the building was and I also wanted to attract people’s attention to the building.”

The golf course has a new place to gather and unwind, thanks to a collaborative effort by members of the Thursday Night Men's League, donors and local supporters like Cashco.
A fundraising raffle and generous donations helped bring the patio and firepit project to life. Among the many contributors was Cashco, which donated material for the firepit covers. Tracy Fries, CNC Programmer at Cashco — and a member of the league — stepped up to handle the design and fabrication of the custom covers.
"When someone in our group asked Clint [Cashco President] about making the covers, he agreed. I volunteered to draw them up, and we cut them out on the waterjet," Fries shared. "I attached purchased handles and did some polishing at home to finish them up."
Fries said he feels a sense of satisfaction in contributing. "I'm just glad to have it finished and to have helped out."
With a refreshed gathering space, the golf course now offers an even better environment
