Well, flush my engine and buff my bumper: Even go-carts need a makeover once in a while. And so, the go-cart donated to the Walla Walla City-County D.A.R.E. program from Pepsi-Cola Bottling in 1990 got a facelift. The go-cart had been driven in parades and community events during the 1990s, but has been stored at the city corporation yard for many years and fell into disrepair, said Police Department Public Information Officer Tim Bennett in a release. The idea to overhaul the go-cart started when Police Officer Danny Lackey and Support Services Technician Bill Dunham contacted Penitentiary staff. They were eager to assist, said Bennett.
