…a hit with the teachers AND students! 

Our Horizons group was contacted by the Haakon Education Association to assist in assembling and installing a brand new playground at the elementary school.  Donations were received throughout the school year, and many new pieces were ordered.  Several Horizons volunteers spent a 13-hour day at the playground getting it ready in time for the start of school.

In preparation for Philip’s Centennial celebration in June, the Horizons Parks & Recreation Task Force set out to clean up Bad River Park.  Bad River Park had been flooded several years ago and was never cleaned up.  Many volunteers spent several weekends picking up debris and mowing.  The existing outhouses and boundary posts were cleaned, sandblasted and repainted.  Many people attending the celebration were thrilled with this effort as they were able to pitch tents and spend time in the shade there.
