DOVER, OH - Two members of a Dover citizens committee working with the Park Board to build a state-of-the-art playground at Dover City Park revealed their recent fundraising efforts to Dover City Council Monday night.

Beth Aljancic and Jody Niklaus, who describe themselves as “two moms who decided that we needed a park and a playground,” are selling holiday yard art to help raise money for the project.

Their committee, known as Building a Dream, Dover City Playground Project, was formed in April and has raised $4,000 so far. Their goal is $325,000 to replace playground equipment with new age-appropriate and handicap accessible equipment over a rubbery, maintenance-free surface.

There aren't really any more tidbits. This was more of an announcement than anything else. I thought this was a fun and creative idea for fundraising.
