LAUREL - A group of moms saw a need for new playground in Laurel and responded by organizing a way to get that equipment.

The group, Project HELP, which stands for Help Equip Laurel Parks, has a design for the play area - brainstormed last fall by Laurel kids and honed by a national consultant. And the group is working to raise the money to make the playground a reality.

The equipment, with a castle theme, will be placed in Kiwanis Park when the playground is built by volunteers during a construction blitz this spring.

 
Like the moms, Billings businessman Joe Hartman saw a need, this time in the playground building process and volunteered his time and talent to help.
