Build Day was incredible, what a fantastic turn out! We can't thank our captains and volunteers enough for making this day more than we could have hoped for. Our construction manager Mark Smith was so great to work with, he was patient and had such great spirit inspite of some glitches and alot of rain during prep week.
We will be posting picture of our successful day hopefully tomorrow.
We would also like to thank the family of George McLeod for coming out and spending the day with us. We are honor to have our playground dedicated to such an outstanding person who dedicated himself to his country and community.
We would also like to thank Ian Hill and Let Them Be Kids for the opportunity to make a 4 year project into a 4 month project. Thanks so much for believing in our community and helping to bring us back together. Also giving us this beautiful space to gather with our friends and family. You are all so great to work with!!
