Another week of progress on the Turf Field. We're pretty much on schedule and still looking good for September 27th kick-off!
Last saturday 25 truckloads of gravel base were delivered and graded and several volunteers hand dug a 75 foot silt-fence running parallel to the creek. After the hard work the volunteers were provided with burgers, drinks and fresh fruit for their efforts. We've also been supplying the truckers with drinks, donuts and burgers. Most of the truck drivers are donating their time so they're appreciative of the club's efforts.
Monday attention tuned toward completion of the concrete retaining wall on the west side of the field. Wednesday saw the removal of topsoil and vegetation from the east and south sides of the field in preparation for the concrete mowing strip and fencing, and on Thursday the south end concrete retaining wall was poured and trees removed that interfered with the western retaining wall and manhole covers.

Thursday also saw a slight change to the field plans, as we decided to keep a shallow triangular piece at the south end for spectators so that they can watch small-sided games (see picture above).
