Tonight's pre-Comfest prep in Goodale Park was a success! Volunteers began clearing low branches along the sidewalks in Goodale Park, and they re-worked much of the mulch from the parking lot to the base of several trees throughout the park. Many thanks to everyone who participated!
Round 2 of our pre-Comfest prep is this Saturday, June 12, 9:00am-12:00pm, and we're hoping to continue cleanup efforts in preparation for this year's Comfest celebration.
Comfest's volunteers do an amazing job preparing for the festival, and providing cleanup detail, but they can't do it alone! Please take an hour or two this Saturday to help keep Goodale Park looking beautiful. Meet Julie at the shelter house any time between 9am and 12pm.
