Let us know if you have any 'extra' time to help us raise funds to complete these projects that will improve and maintain these two big, and very valuable, city parks that the city no longer has any money to maintain. we could use the help towards something productive - if you have the will ;-).

I remember one 'raft' made out of 'BIG MAC' containers (remember they used to be Styrofoam). Robert, Those races were great but the river is barely high enough to support the rubber duck race now.

In the 1970's they used to have a "raft" race down the river concluding at Riverside park. The boats were constructed out of tires, logs, innertubes, gallon jugs, etc., and it was really fun to see the ideas that people came up with that could actually float. And, yes, return the festival of lights. I think there are a few strands high up in some of the trees that remind me what a great event that was. These are some really good ideas.
