HAPPY days at Harriman Park

New playground equipment to be installed Aug. 6-8
 
     Six months of intense fundraising and extensive planning will culminate next week during a special three-day project in Harriman Park.
     The Kiwanis Club of Hampton will wrap up its Harriman Playground Park for Youth (HAPPY) campaign with a community build project Aug. 6-8. The club is asking for volunteers to assist with construction process, which includes assembling the park’s elaborate new playground.
     The Kiwanis Club has raised more than $90,000 for the new equipment since February. Karen Schmidt, chair of the HAPPY Committee, said the club needs a group of “qualified volunteers” capable of using tools and lifting heavy objects.
     “We have a lot of interest,” she said. “I don’t want people to feel not welcome, but if we don’t have qualified volunteers we won’t be able to get this build finished.”
