Kilburg has been hired to immediately fill the newly created part-

Little Bear Park II - Officially OPEN

A community pulled together to volunteer in many ways getting our Little Bear Park renovated.

Lots of hard work and HOT days as well.

I enjoyed showing up every few days to cover the Volunteers working so hard with Photos and Video.

  "It is great to see how many people in the community came  together for a great cause."   -David Voy
