Barn and Equipment Spring Cleaning
Posted on: March 11, 2021
Spring work list at the Cruiser Barn
Many of these tasks can be done by several people at any time volunteers are available. There will be 2 Saturday work events, one to clean the barn and other inside chores and one for outside chores.
The dates have been set for April 10th and May 15th. Start time is 8:30. The main focus for the April 10th work day is to clean the main barn which will include vacuuming, sweeping, wash walls and doors, clean grease spots off of the floor and power scrubbing the floor with power scrubbers.
A crew of 10 to 15 is desirable to allow work breaks. Work in the storage building can be done if we have enough volunteers. Weather permitting, trail clean up will be in progress.
A cook out lunch will be provided. Volunteers to help with lunch are needed both in the planning and the day of.
The May 15th work day will include raking topsoil around the storage building plus seeding and straw mulching. Clean up of the old outdoor storage area will be undertaken. Other activities as weather allows and need to be completed yet.
A cook out lunch will be provided. Volunteers to help with lunch are needed both for planning and doing the day of.
