A huge thank you to the volunteers on the Fence Committee and who contributed a ton of their personal time last weekend to create the new fence. It is a huge improvement that adds to the whole experience of being in the Kits Community Garden. The fun began on Friday when the old fence was torn down. Then the new fence work started on Saturday at 8:30 a.m.! The layout and posts were installed on Saturday and the volunteers had a short lunch break after working up a huge appetite and then got back to work for the remainder of the day. Luckily Suzanne at our local Rocky Mountain Flatbread Company in Kits generously donated 4 large pizzas for the crew - which were absolutely scrumptious. As they say, hunger is a good sauce and every single piece was devoured - 4 or 5 pieces each! We were also really lucky with the weather - no rain. Sunday was also very busy as the new pickets were installed and all the junk hauled away. A special thank you to Rob our project manager, who had us all focused and working on various tasks to get everything done and who also arranged the purchase and delivery of all of the materials and equipment that were needed - including his own personal power saw (who knew?). I personally feel the auger was the coolest tool in the whole process! It was a lot of work but also lots of fun with lots of laughter and camaraderie. Enjoy the pictures from the weekend - and of course our beautiful new fence and two gates.
