It is the weekend that the Kids Kingdom needs your help!
They selected Sulphur Springs Leadership Class to rehab Mary Bonham’s Kids Kingdom in Buford Park. And just like when they constructed it a quarter-century ago, everyone is invited to help.
Friday and Saturday, April 22-23, have been designated as workdays to re-stain all the wood in the Kids Kingdom and spread mulch.
The class is also planning to replace and repair the equipment, such as the handicap swing, chains, swings, tires, etc., for the playground, restore the ground mulch, and install lighting for safety and security.
Church and civic groups, as well as individuals, are encouraged to help with the project.
To sign up to help, contact the Chamber at 903-885-8515 or Butch@HopkinsChamber.org.
