Old park gone, new park going up...  Spanky owns it.

Thanks to all who came out for our benefit events last weekend!  It was great to feed the local scene!  Keep your park clean, don't fight, cooperate... and we may just get another one built.

Huge thanks to the Burnside community for helping out and feeding energy!
