On the morning of September 10th, about a dozen chapter Ikes showed up with sleeves rolled up to tackle the tasks on chapter Park Manager Jimmy Fanny’s list including trimming the dam and spillway overflow area, trimming overhanging limbs, digging out hardwood roots on the front face of the dam, and cleaning out ditches to shovel depth alongside the paths.
At noon, the work crew gathered at the gazebo and chapter President Chris Ferguson cooked up some hot dogs and toasted some buns, served alongside ham sandwiches, assorted chips, cold bottled water, canned beverages, and homemade cookies.
A lot was accomplished but there is still a lot of grass cutting that needs doing throughout the park, and the dam backside still needs additional trimming. See the photos below of our chapter Ikes in action. Thanks to all who participated in this park workday cleanup event.
