On Wednesday June 6, 2012, we had a work party at the site and got a lot accomplished. We put a coat of varathane on the new picnic tables, the head frame was fixed up and painted, flowers were planted and we painted the pony wall under the rec hall above the new foundation. It was a good start to a long list of chores.
