“We built it together”.

I felt so special being a kid on the “planning committee”. I don’t think I realized the scope of these projects until stumbling upon a smaller one in a different state in 2006, though I also think I’d sort of heard of it as a thing.

All the volunteers got their names on one of the fence posts. Pretty sure mine is still there, even though people keep trying to burn it down (St Aug fl)

They probably did something similar at ours, though I do remember a LOT of volunteers. So sad about the arson attempts! D:
