CLYMER — The town of Clymer is set to hold their KABOOM! community playground building days June 25 through 27, but the town is still looking for volunteers for a few areas for those three days.

During the town’s June board meeting Deputy Town Supervisor Todd Kolstee said some materials have started arriving and the perimeter has been marked for where the playground will be built.

The school has reached out to have staff and students help out in shifts. A side project will also be done for two new picnic tables and benches, along with a new town park sign.

Food wise, Kolstee said they have talked with the Dutch Village Restaurant and Neckers Company General Store, and both have agreed to help supply breakfast and lunch.

“I know Wendy (Trisket, town clerk) has gotten donations from community members for water, condiments, things like that,” Kolstee said. “I think when we get a week out we can see what we have and try to buy cases of water for those three days.”

Town Supervisor Brian Willink thanked Kolstee for his work on the project, which has taken a few years at this point to fully come to fruition.

Some of the older agriculture and shop students from Clymer Central School will be coming down to help on the building days as well. Kolstee said they still need to get a list together of power tools and other items tool-wise they still need, and that they can maybe advertise in local church bulletins for more volunteers to come help build.

Town Clerk Wendy Trisket said a few donations of food items they have already received include chips, cookies, granola bars, water bottles, plastic ware, other condiments, lemonade and other paper items.

“So Todd and I figured the paper stuff is all covered,” Trisket said. “We could use some more drinks and some more packaged snacks kind of thing.”

Trisket asked for ideas on how to recruit more people to come help on the building days. Willink said between the school, town and the churches with bulletin material, and the potential to reach out to others who helped the last time around, they should have enough.

“And if we get down there and we have too many, I mean that’s a good problem to have,” Willink said. “But I don’t think we can have too many. People will come and go, and we don’t need everybody there all day either. They can come and go and be there when you can, and stay as long as you can.”

It was noted that it does not all have to be physical labor and that people can come to help with the food or painting the sign or other activities as well. Willink said there will be something for everyone to help out with.
