DG Skatepark Fund worked!!!!

Finally we got somthin done!!! We raised a little over 600 bucks through a jam or two and a Bike we raffled off here at the shop. The shop payed for the bar that went in before the concrete was poured and a few hundred more to cover the rest of paying paprocki concretes' guys to do the finish work. Jeff gave us a super sweeet price, coming in at a few hundred less than expected since we did some of the labor and it was money raised by the kids and out of our own pockets.
Got to the park at 730 am to rip up the old asphalt...
DG rider Nick Prete was onhand to do some labor and keep the job rolling, this is truly an addition that is "ours" as everyone donated a few of their own dollars and the DG guys put in some hard labor to make it happen.
Truck showed up at 1 pm and it was time to pour....
The bump took shape quick and Paprockis crew did what they do best and made it flow nice and smooth.... Also took out the rail everyone wanted out... Thanks goes to anyone who donated to make this park somethin better than it already was.. Paprocki concrete for helping me afford to get it done, and Tom Dooley from park and rec and the Killingly town workers for getting me the OK, and the making it easier then it could have been.... keep it clean, shred it hard, I'm workin on getting the next part done already!!!
