Here is a quick look at the soon to be brand new Peninsula Memorial Park!
Thanks to a great bunch of volunteers that worked super hard today, our playground begun to take shape. Thank you to Neal Squire, Troy Powell, Paul George, Andy Brown, Ed Brown, Geoff Winsor, Calv Squire, Kent Oldford, Dean Oldford, Harvey Senior, Marty Kippenhuck, Charlie Babstock, Kyle (Let Them Be Kids), Keith Moss and Bob Handcock for their hard work. Thanks also to Lee Handcock who helped yesterday to offload all of our playground equipment when it arrived at the field.
Today was a prime example of how when people come together and work together, things get done, it's as simple as that! On Saturday it will be no different and this communitiy will come together like you have never seen before!!! :-)
