HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Jason Sansom, 26, said he was walking by the bridge over Fourpole Creek in Ritter Park last weekend when he noticed it needed a paint job.
He got about an hour into the paint job, before a park official stopped him.

He decided then and there that he wanted to do something to help clean up the city, so he bought $50 worth of paint and went to work painting it pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Jim McClelland, executive director of the Greater Huntington Park and Recreation District, asked Sansom to finish painting and to come back when the weather is warmer to repaint it, this time with white paint.
