Picnic Table Renewal

Sanding 1

The three picnic tables which have given such faithful service to Good Shepherd ever since they were donated by the Kentucky Fried Chicken manager many years ago, have had a renewal.  Dan Raney and Jane Kemp selected the treated lumber for the tops and seats. Dan dismantled the tables and Ed Hover repurposed the old boards for the Good Shepherd/Hover garden.  After Dan sanded and spray painted the metal frames, Jane Jakoubek, Mary Klimesh, and Harley Refsal sanded the boards.  The boards will be sealed next spring after they have seasoned for several months.
