The Equipment has Arrived!!
The equipment arrived today and was offloaded by a very capable zoom boom operator, Neil Wight. It was quite facinating to watch the skillful manouvers used to pluck our precious cargo out of the 53 foot delivery truck. We are short a few items that were not ready at shipping time but they will come in the spring when our skatepark equipment arrives. Our construction crew will start unpacking the quipment at 8 AM tommorrow, Thursday the 13th.. If you want to help please stop by and see if Tony has enough people or if you have any of the tools on the list please bring them as well. We will also need some help setting up the two tents and tables and chairs as well later in the afternoon on Thursday. Come on out. You just might meet someone you never even knew lived in the Village! Great news too. Legacy Oil and Gas officials will be on hand Saturday to help us complete the playground as well as present us with a cheque for $25,000 for the playground. Another gentleman from Suncor(donor) will be helping with the build as well. Its great to see officials who don't mind getting their hands dirty with the rest of us!I believe ATCO Gas will be on hand as well with a cheque for the park. By the way, just wait until you see how cool the triple slide is!!!
