Firelands finally gets new playground at Oberlin district
Eight years of PTG effort yield a $60 000 playground funded by state federal grants and local donations. Nordson Foundation gave nearly 30000, Rotary groups from Amherst and Oberlin contributed, and 30 adult volunteers plus the high school football team built it. An outdoor pavilion was finished in September beside Firelands High School.
