Great news! I like it! Sounds like a nice little project and one that will be welcomed. And in time for the 2011 upcoming season! :D

Congrats, War Memorial parking lot, you're now not living in 1920.
Now if only the same could be said for Pine Bluffs.
Easy now. We're all paved here. You must be thinking of Burns ;)
Was just down there for a funeral. I guess the roads turn to gravel in some areas. I know the parking lot by the old high school there needs to be paved. Nothing but mud.

Fun Fact, my great-grandpa came from Pine Bluffs, and his house from when he was growing up is still standing (born in 1916). A little stonehouse a few miles out of town. While my great-grandmother came from Kyota.
 
Agreed, its about *****time...I have always been embarrassed about this, very surprised that we have not been the subject of even more ridicule...most Wyo HSs have paving

I guess Ill have to get the fridge off my porch since we're sprucing the place up a bit

Yeah, the parking lot at the old high school and gym could use some concrete. Roads turn to gravel at the edges of town. We're also getting new sewer lines put in, so the pavement is a little torn up right now in town. Quite a few of the houses out here were built in the early 1900s. Original construction on my house was done in 1928.
 
I've read some reaction on other boards about how this is a waste of money and that we could be using it to spend on a coach. I'm just going to say that FINALLY we don't look like some hick A** back country school with a gravel parking lot. You can't tell me that when recruits pull into town and see one of the parking lots RIGHT NEXT TO THE STADIUM was crappy gravel, that they were even a tiny bit impressed. Great choice to get this done, should have been done 5-10 years ago.
