Quote from Lisa Bates

Lisa and her husband have lived in the Village of Scottsville for approximately 13 years. She serves on the Wheatland Recreation Commission, the Beautify Scottsville Committee and the Wheatland Chili PTA.

The WC school district is small yet offers many opportunities for students, in addition to SAA and the Wheatland Recreation Department. There are many parks in the area, we love that we are able to enjoy the fresh country air and the relaxing sound of the Oatka Creek."
