Progress on the construction of Emo’s spray park has been slow over the last couple of weeks.
Unfortunately, the number of volunteers showing up to work has been sporadic, which has left the majority of the work to a faithful few.
The committee realizes most people work during the day, and also are busy on the weekends with fall chores of their own, but if this park is going to become a reality, then those in the community and surrounding area who want to see the spray park operational by next spring will have to donate some of their time, talent, and financial support over the next couple of weeks.
