Volunteers, tools and equipment needed

The new build of Wildcat Wonderland is only a month away. This past week, Marso Excavating of Dakota City took out some old trees east of the Taft Park Shelter House to make way for the new playground site.
The ground will be grubbed to get the site prepared for the playground installation.
The Humboldt Parks and Recreation Department is still in urgent need of volunteers. An extra day has been added to the schedule, from Monday, Aug. 15-Sunday, Aug. 21.
If you have a desire, prior construction experience, while valuable, is not required.
Does your local business, church group, service organization or club have a few hours to volunteer? This is a community project being done for the kids. There will be three four-hour work shifts on each of the building days, from 8 a.m. to noon, 12-4 p.m. and 4-8 p.m.
Child care will be provided on-site and meals will be provided to workers.
People should contact Humboldt Recreation Director Paxton Vanderhoff at paxtonv@cityofhumboldt.org to sign up, or stop by the Humboldt Rec Center and sign up your group in person.
Site coordinators in addition to general laborers are needed every day of the build.
In addition to volunteers and in-kind donations, power tools and equipment are also needed. See the full list of tool and equipment needs in this week's Humboldt Independent.
People with questions about the build are asked to contact Humboldt Parks Director Clayton Vorland at (515) 332-4280 or email: parksdept@ci.humboldt.ia.us.
