The board members of the Friends of Kemp Park had a work day at the park last week. We got a lot accomplished and wanted to let you all know. And in the future, we hope to invite all of you to come out and help us! Here is what we worked on:

Removed the old barbed-wire piles and fence posts and brought them to the landfill: Roughly 3 tons!
Filled dozens of potholes in the walking paths with over 2 tons of fill dirt.
Removed a large dead pine tree and cedar tree.
Removed a dead tree across from the cemetery.
Removed a couple of tires and a couple of toilets. Seriously!
Removed 2 trash bags of garbage along Burnt Hickory Road (this was after the county had already gone through and removed a lot of trash).
Cut up the dead tree pile in the lower pasture for firewood. We are offering it to anyone who will donate to the Friends of Kemp Park! See our Facebook page, or call Allen at 678-571-2546 for information.

Thank you for staying interested in this beautiful, peaceful property. Also, please remember to clean up after your dogs. If you don’t have a bag with you, at least remove it from the walkways. One of the items on our wish list is a doggie bag dispenser and disposal unit. Please consider donating on our website! Thanks!
