The project started on Friday, October 19th and ended on Saturday, October 20th. The first day was long but very constructive and Joe Adams, Josh Swift, Jason Hoffman, Bryan Karhoff and Ryan Stillings utilized their minds and strength to assist Karhoff Construction in the installation of a large castle like structure and as a result, approximately 75% of the project was completed in only one day. Then on Saturday, numerous other volunteers from The Shelly Company (Ryan Stillings, Bob Burnside, Josh Swift, Joe Adams, Dave Ashworth, and Jerry Hinesman) started on the final installation of the playgrounds at the two locations. Ty Nofziger and Lyle Snyder were very instrumental in contacting a local Ready Mix Company to ask them for donations of approximately 9.5 yards of concrete for the setting of the posts, which they did provide for the project. The two day event was very successful and was highlighted in “The Courier” a local newspaper. The volunteers enjoyed themselves and assisting the community for which they work and live. A big thank you goes out to all Shelly employees that volunteered their time in this project.
