Looks like we don't need to replace that last set of swings after all, they're just fine.
So we're looking at a few different options for additional equipment, but we need updated drawings from Bob P. at Miracle to make sure what we propose will fit in the space (that's in process).

We're looking at some vertical climbers that don't take up a lot of space but would allow kids more options for climbing.  We're also looking at a piece or two for the 3-5 yr. olds.  We also might have enough funds to pay for replacement benches for the ball field (TBD).

In other news, The State of Vermont Department of Buildings and General Services is having a reception and awards ceremony for grantees on Monday 1/30 at the Statehouse.  Bob G. and I will be attending.  Maybe we'll come home with a big check!

Great news!

We've just received word that our playground renovation project has been granted $9,000 toward it's final spring phase from the State of Vermont, Department of Buildings and General Services!

This should be all we need to complete the project.  We are tentatively looking at Saturday, May 12, 2012 as our ribbon-cutting.  SO exciting.

Thanks everyone, for all your support!
