Work continued this week on the Myers Park Playground Project (MP3).  Organizers had hoped to finish the playground in five days ending Sunday, but lower than expected volunteer turnout and rainy weather put the project behind.  Work sessions were extended to include Monday and Tuesday, and organizers are hoping that volunteers will return Saturday to finish the project.

So far 83% of the $138,000 goal has been raised for the project.  Donors paid for individual playground components, bought pickets in a fence that is being installed at the playground with donors' names on them, and money and materials for the project.  To date over 400 volunteers have been part of the project.
