It takes a Village.....

When you are a small community like the city of Kootenai is...you don't have
a big park budget. So you depend on donations, and volunteer work and
workers. We have had Coldwater Creek come in and put in plants,
lattic and a picnic table. Over the years some have donated trees and bushes.
The park itself is a donation from a long time resident.

This year we have a new addition. Thanks to the Kiwanis's and Bob Camp,
we have this equipment for the kids to play on. But as you know, equipment
has to have prep work. And that is where the Village comes in. The city Engineer,
and his crew, wife and others jumped in. Councilmen, even kids all came in on
Saturday. With the help of Rainbow Company delivering and putting it together,
the kids of Kootenai now have a summer worth of fun ahead.

It truly does take a Village. As you can see.

THIS IS THE BEFORE LOOK.....




The prep work was started on Friday, and here on Saturday, it continues with
the Rainbow crew putting pieces together.

Here we have all involved, the prep crew, councilmen, Kiwanis, Rainbow, and etc.

helping put a large piece together.

By nightfall, this is what was done. Still has some work around the sides with grass to go.
But the Kootenai kids have already found it, and have tested it out well...

It is so great when an idea comes together, and especially when so many gave their time.
