The history of the Farmer City Community Pool has had its ups and downs, but this summer has avoided any bumps. 

Farmer City City Manager Taylor Baxter indicates that it's getting to the time of year where much of their staff begins heading back to school. He understands that the community wants to use the pool for as long as possible, so they are exploring their hiring options for new lifeguards. 

Baxter says that they have not landed on an official closing date for the pool yet, but they would like to keep it going for as long as they can.
