Come and Play!
Our Community re-Built Playground at Stadium Place
We had such a successful Spring Playground Clean-up and Celebration on Saturday,
May 1st!
We planted 10 new trees, donated by Parks and People Foundation which also gave free trees to community members interested in greening their yards.
We mulched the new and old trees, seeded the grass, painted the village, tightened some loose boards, picked up garbage and vacuumed away the leaves and trash.
All the volunteers got a free T-shirt. T-shirts and bags are currently on a special SALE! CLICK HERE for more information and to order.
The food was delicious and the games were great!
Folks enjoyed themselves throughout the entire day.
