We chose to clean a CCC/WCA building because we believe as we move forward as a country, we also need to look back in history to the "New Deal" era. This particular building is also going to be used as a warming house for a "Candlelight Cross-Country Skiing, Snowshoe, and Hiking Event" at Buffalo River State Park. We are going to continue this activity and clean other CCC/WCA buildings in the park on Memorial Day and Labor Day, and again next year to honor Dr. Martin Luther King

My children were able to join me for this event honoring Dr. King, and they both worked hard shoveling snow, cleaning floors and windows. The Park Rangers were also very helpful in getting us to the building with their GEM electric car made in nearby Fargo, ND.

We are hoping that there will be more people helping us in the next events, but it happened to be a pretty cold and windy day in Fargo, and the other families that had signed up to help needed to cancel.
