"This Friday May 12th between 4 and 6 PM
So here is the deal.
The 4th and final footing is ready to be poured. The footing is 100 feet long, 1 foot wide and 10 inches deep. It will take 4 yards of concrete to fill. Fortunately,this time we will have a cement truck delivering it for us. Josh Binkley and Tazco Readymix (from Westville) are going out of their way (with pricing and delivery time) to help us out. Saturday morning delivery is not possible so the truck will be there Friday afternoon between 4 and 6 pm.. While we will not have to mix the concrete ourselves, we may have to move it around in 5 gallon buckets from the chute to the form. Once the concrete is in place we will need to place boulders (some of them quite heavy) onto the concrete. If we get enough hands out to help it should take 1 or 2 hours to get the job done.
Such fun!!
A Friday evening to remember.
Please show up and lend a hand. I will not know the exact time that the truck will arrive until Friday afternoon and will post the ETA when it is available."
Last year the terraced area across from the North Judson United Methodist Church was not in the best conditon. In the over fifty years that I have walked past it I have seen it get worse and worse. Dr. Dennis Dalphond has made it his goal to revamp and create an area more in keeping with Norwayne Field, which lies on the other side of Pioneer Cemetery. For over a year he and other volunteers have worked to improve the area and keep the intent of the people who originally did the landscaping there. The work is coming close to completion and with your help it could be finished by the 2017 Mint Festival. So if you have the time he could sure use some hands this Friday, May 12th, between 4 and 6 p.m. to help finish the final footing. It already looks more attractive than it did last year. (By the way, these photos were "stolen" from Dr. Dalphond's Facebook page.)
