I saw a bunch of folks workin' up there this morning Pappy! It's lookin' good!!
George said at the council meeting that he will take a volunteer whenever they can donate the time. Folks don't have to wait for a "work party" day to help out.

| Fishing will be allowed in designated areas. Signs are in the process of being made so they can be put up but right there on the road is the main place that I remember. No boats.

Who's in charge of changin' the toilet paper Sandra??? 
Can we hold an election for that job? I know a couple of folks who'd be perfect for it!  Last edited on Aug 24th, 2006 03:04 am by Cracker Jax

I cain't wait! Literally! Pun intended, right Pappy? The restroom is right there beside the kids' playground so the little kids don't have to use the Porta-John anymore.

Well, the park openin' would have to be qualified a rousin' success! Pappy ain't much on cypherin', but I hear tell we went mebbe a couple hunnerd beyond the 500 people mark! YEE HAW! The total would have been higher, but I hear a couple VIP's got turned away fer lackin' the proper parkin' permit. SHE HAW!
The playground got quite a workout! Kid tested, George approved! Pappy ain't never seen so many young'uns. I reckon all these new houses they're a-buildin' have actually got people in 'em!
Pappy saw a right long line a-waitin' fer Sheila Williams to draw a pitcher fer 'em. She does good stuff, but she might want to put some ice on that drawin' arm tonight! WOO! Here's one she drawed o' me. Really captured my essence, I think.
Saw them SYC young'uns makin' some purty steppin' stones and such. I reckon the plan is to make them steppin' stones part o' the park now. Really neat idee. Looked they was a-workin' hard an' a-havin' fun.
Looks like that survey they did was right. People wanted a park!

I think the turnout for the park opening says it all.
Yes Park!
Yes Summerfield!
Yes George Holub is the Hero of the day!
All of the volunteers who put it together were awesome too! Thanks to all of you!
Goodness! The donations were massive! I'd love to list them all but I just couldn't. I wonder if it would ever be possible to print a list of donators in the NWO sometime? I know George keeps up with it but the list might just be too long.... I think it'd be a nice gesture to thank all of those landscapers and food vendors and churches who turned out to lend a helping hand to make our park and the grand opening just wonderful!
Thanks everybody! I had a great time!

| What a great afternoon/evening! Sure is good to know that community events like this are not a thing of the past. Big smiles on everyone should be proof positive that this park will be a centerpiece for our town! Kudos to the parks committee, volunteer workers, George Holub for making it all happen.

| P.S. Many other volunteers worked hard to make this a fun afternoon. A most successful group was the Summerfield Youth Council kids. Wish I could bottle their dedication and energy!

Was absolutely a great evening, the Park looked magnificent, great entertainment.
Really couldn't ask for anything better, except maybe a repeat when Phase II is complete !!
The Park was unquestionably the right thing to do for Summerfield.
