B. The parking lot striper is scheduled for Wednesday or Thursday.

C. Top Turf Sod owned by Billie Wilburn Jr. will be adding some finishing touches with new sod up front around the parking lot and some sod in the back by the basketball and volleyball court.

D. The park pavilion is still on back order because of COVID.

E. Some sad news to report is the old swing set and monkey bars failed inspection from OMAG so they both will go to rust heaven for their retirement. We were going to try to use them but when the swing set was picked up it broke into two because the steel tubing was so rusted on the inside out. We will all remember them and have great memories from the swing set and monkey bars.
