We have ordered the portable equipment and it should be here by the middle of July. Then we need lots of people (kids and parents) to help set it up. The date will show up here as soon as we know it.

While you're waiting, go to the Fun Stuff for a link to the crossword puzzle. It will time you, give hints and is all about you!

This is what has happened in just the last few days:

* The insurance guy said we're way ahead of most people who plan parks, and we're doing it right. He told us about the new skatepark in Irrigon - they raised $400,000 for it!
* The insurance guy told the City Manager that it's best for the city if they help us get grants for the next phase, instead of us being a separate group and working alone. Something about putting the city in a risky position if they aren't part of it. This is great news!
* Signco in Nyssa is donating two BIG signs, one for rules and one for donors.
* There are 13 quarterpipes, 15 Fun Box/Manual Pads, a Launch Ramp, 4 Wedge Ramps, 11 Fun Box Extension Legs and 2 FREE Grind Rails - 45 pieces in all.
* Chris Ragus talked to FreshPark and got a final price ($6570.35) - we've got over $7800 in the bank.
* The stuff has been ORDERED. Click here for the layout.
* Everyone needs to help set it up and then we'll have a PARTY!
* We will start working on grants to build a cement park right away. The ramps you're using in the first phase will be sold later to help pay for the cement park.
