Performances at 7:30 p.m. Friday-Sunday, Aug. 14-16. enlightenedtheatrics.org. By CRAIG MURPHY Of the Keizertimes The funding goal for the Big Toy project has been reached, but the work isn’t done. The slimmed down Com- munity Build Task Force met last week, now down to seven members. Marlene Parsons is still chairing the meet- ings, which will continue on a monthly basis for at least the next couple of months. A grand opening for the Big Toy is taking place on Saturday, Aug. 29 from 2 to 5 p.m. Figures provided by Janet Carlson showed the fundrais- ing group raised $321,224.41, or 101 percent of the goal of $319,009.80. That fi gure was down from the original goal of $416,000, which was low- ered by 25 percent in Febru- ary as the surface was changed to engineered wood fi bers. Cutting the poured-in place rubber surface meant $105,000 was cut from the budget. One of the main ob- jectives for continuing the CBTF is to pursue grants and other funding to get the sur- face in the future. “We are at 101 percent of the goal,” Parsons said. “I want to see that in print. We did it, again.” Carlson said all of $319,009 in the budget was used. That includes $198,618 for con- struction materials, $38,633.19 to project consultant Leathers and Associates, $32,695.13 in contingency funds, $31,717.82 for the parking lots and paths, $11,140 for food and lodging, $3,770 for donor recognition and $1,725 for a permit. Funding received to date includes $100,000 from the city of Keizer in the form of system development charges, $87,000 in grants, $76,364.85 in component sales, $29,000 The Brian Odell Band at Keizer Rotary Amphitheater at Keizer Rapids Park, 6:30 p.m. Free. kraorg.com.

KEIZERTIMES fi le/Lyndon A. Zaitz The fi re station mister has been a popular attraction at the Big Toy play structure. Figures show both the Keizer Fire District and Marion County Fire District No. 1 contributed $7,000. Last year, project leaders worked with city leaders and applied for a $150,000 Or- egon Parks and Recreation Department Local Govern- ment Grant but were denied. That grant will likely be ap- plied for again next year. police scanner Friday, August 14 Saturday, August 15 in donated items, $14,423.04 in picket sales and $13,779 in cash contributions. The biggest grants were $30,000 from Marion County, $25,600 from Keizer Rotary (Rotary also paid for some components), $15,000 from the Oregon Community Foundation and $10,000 from the Keizer Parks Foundation. Cash contributions were highlighted by $5,000 from Portland General Electric, in addition to $2,500 from Mountain West Investment Corporation and $1,000 each from Comcast, Lakepoint Community Church and Ron and Judy Brown. Component sales were highlighted by $7,000 each from Keizer Fire District and Marion County Fire District No. 1 for the fi re station and misters, $6,000 from the Sa- lem-Keizer Volcanoes for the volcano slide, $5,000 from Keizer Elks for the Wallace House log cabin and $5,000 from Uptown Music for the music station. “We still have picket sales coming in, at least two to four a week,” Carlson said. “We or- dered 365 more. That’s already been included on the sheet. If we sell more, that is more for revenue.” Carlson later submit- ted revised forms showing $322,992.76 had been raised, as a couple of benches were not in the earlier numbers. Parsons asked what the strategy was to pay for an up- graded surface. “A pour-in-place will be $120,000 to $180,000,” Par- sons said. “What will be our strategy now? Will we rely on a grant?” Carlson and Richard Walsh, members of the fundraising group from the start, said that is indeed the case.
