There is still time to purchase a Fence Penny! You will help build Penny Playground and secure your place in our local history.
Add your name or personal message to a Fence Penny or a “family” of multiple coins that will be made of 2.5″ diameter, copper-colored metal and suspended from chain link fence surrounding the new Penny Playground. Order here: app.etapestry.com/onlineforms/TheChehalisFoundation/fence-penny-order-form.html
We bought one! Are these the conceptual drawings for the new playground? Will there be a swing set? My boys would be so sad without one. Thanks!

Mom would have loved to see this as she was so excited about the first Penny Playground. I feel very comforted to have donated recently In Memory of Anna Lou Pearce. A great project in support of children.
