Manson - On Tuesday afternoon, October 3, 2006, the Manson Parks Board celebrated the successful 2006 Regular Levy campaign with the Manson Kids for Parks group and the Levy Committee.  The celebration, fittingly held at Singleton Park in the gazebo, included pizza, pop, and cookies, followed by the presentation of Certificates of Merit for each Kids for Parks member.

Members of the Manson Kids for Parks group proudly hold up their Certificates of Merit: the kids are shown with Manson Park Board Members, the Levy Committee for Manson Parks, and other dedicated volunteers and supporters.

The assembled group then honored Shannon Byquist-Freels for her outstanding leadership as Chairperson of the Levy Committee.  The Kids for Parks group included 13 members, who worked hard selling otter pops and other treats to raise money to cover levy campaign fees.  Parks Board  President Dale Peterson thanked the Kids for Parks for their outstanding community service,  and also extended the Board's appreciation to the Levy Committee for their planning, fund-raising, and follow-through on the levy campaign.
