Minford, OH — Minford Elementary is currently in the construction and installation phase of a preschool playground project. I would like to thank Tom Keaton and CSX for their participation in this process. The project is taking quite some time to complete, but through the help of some volunteers, the project's completion is now becoming a reality.

Tom Keaton, his brother Joe, brother-in-law Earl Canter, and friend Travis Garrett (a Portsmouth fireman) have worked to install not only some fantastic equipment, but a very safe play area for our preschool children at Minford Elementary. Without their help, the project would still be months away from completion.

Thank you!

The project we led was appropriate for a town full of sports fans. The plan was to renovate two baseball fields at the Prindle Field Little League Ball Park. In addition to rehabbing the fields, the goal was to make it an enjoyable place to watch baseball by adding picnic tables and other landscaping projects.
