Thank you, Volunteers!

Thank you to the significant numbers of volunteers (over 100!) we had commit to, and fulfill, much needed roles in the building, installation, and support of Iver Mudslider, our very own Thomas Dambo troll! From the "Troll Hair" tree branches to donations of monetary support and supplies, lunches for the artists' team, local hospitality and resources, we are grateful for the wonderful teamwork our community displayed during this project, and for the exemplary leadership of the Department of Recreation.
