Tina Harbuck recounts a weekend at Lake Lorraine where Village Baptist Church volunteers cleared turf and sod to create a softball field beside the church. Workers rushed to lay sod and install sprinklers after Lake Lorraine offered last minute sod from its golf course, with a Saturday deadline to move it.
On Friday and Saturday a crew cut and loaded about 20 000 square feet of sod at Lake Lorraine then transported it to Destin. By Sunday the church group laid roughly 15 000 square feet more as irrigation components arrived. The Destin Volunteer Fire Department watered the sod while the system was installed, keeping the project moving toward a much faster completion than expected.
