Skallman Expansion Update


Dog Park Expansion Update.

If we economize by moving and reusing existing metal posts & wire mesh fencing the expansion can be done for $250 ( in addition to the $340 in the bank ).

Today I mail-ordered a "t-post" puller .
Lets hope it's half that E.Z. to pull those puppies.

What remains is:
  • Getting the additional 250 bucks.
  • Aquiring the material. ( I'll do the shopping)
  • Doing the work at an agreed upon time. ( lets shot for on or before The Solstice)

Today CSCC completed the third of six planned events at Blaine Municipal Airport. A young BgHam couple and three sptorty dogs watched the action from the dog park.

The Dog Park Expansion

During the third week in May. Terry (Tee Jay) Johnson handed my the ceremonial leash along with the map showing the boundaries for the long awaited expansion.

The Park has $340 in the bank and needs another $560 to purchase material and rent equipment to make it happen. The bucks can come from you & I , granting agencies , or a combination of both. If we request funds from granting agencies we will have to respect the time involved in their measured response. If we all chip-in some change it could be done before Summer Solstice. (imagine the twilight celebration).

I will pledge $140 toward that goal. Please let me know what path you would like follow to complete the expansion. You can use the comment section below to begin a discussion on this topic.

Greetings


As the new chairperson of Blaine's off-leash park I created this blog as a way for us to stay connected and promote the interests of our pets and Blaine's dog park.

I hope it will contribute to all the work done by the dedicated Charter Members.

Together lets build & maintain the best dog-gone park.
