Opening Day

Well, the shanty is installed. It is not completely finished. There are a few panels that I painted last night with metallic paint for our magnets that have yet to dry and be hung. Outside of that, it is up and ready. The kids and Andrew worked hard the last few days to get the shanty put together, and my boss, Aaron and I were out there this morning finishing up some minor details (Thanks Aaron!). I am impressed with the group of kids that stayed late both Thursday and Friday, working in the cold, to get the job done. Installation photos will be posted soon.

Thanks to everyone who called or emailed to volunteer materials and show support over the last few days. Our missing materials caused quite a headache but the outpouring of support really helped our spirits. We thank you.

It is go-time. I am waiting for students at the school and when they arrive we will be off and running. We are excited to be opening in an hour and look forward to seeing everyone out there!
