Team members from Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille on Fort Myers Beach recently helped Lakes Park employees decorate for Halloween, transforming the mile-long train route.

Workers took park in decorating the county park ahead of the Fall Festival and Halloween Express. Nine employees spent three hours installing the decorations.

“The team really enjoys helping out within the community,” said Joe Harrity, a partner with HM Restaurant Group, the parent company of Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille. “Participating in these events has fostered team-building within our organization and gives back to the community that we serve at our establishments.”

Doc Ford’s team members frequently donate their time at Lakes Park, recently building and installing a miniature version of the Fort Myers Beach restaurant as part of the popular Lakes Park and Gulf Railroad train ride which winds around lakes and small villages. Last year, a group of employees installed holiday decorations at the park.

Lakes Park’s Halloween Express operates Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Oct. 11-31. The park is at 7330 Gladiolus Dr. in Fort Myers.
