There’s a new structure in Village Green Park, thanks to the Kingston-North Kitsap Rotary Club and community volunteers. The Pavilion will be dedicated to Rotarian Rea Mowery, who made significant contributions to our Kingston Rotary Club.
The picnic pavilion enjoyed a “soft opening” when the recent Pie in the Park fundraiser was held. This striking structure of peeled logs features a stamped concrete floor.
Jon Sole of the Kingston Rotary Club supervised the construction and worked closely with all of the volunteers, who supplied both material and labor. Our thanks goes to Jon, and the other volunteers. Brad Pugh of Larson and Casteel donated the design with assistance from Miles Yanick, architect. Matt House of Washington Concrete Casting provided the steel inserts for the footings and arranged for the complimentary concrete and installation. Hard Rock Concrete donated the concrete.
Russell Bishop of Kingbridge Construction donated the concrete installation and the beautiful finish to the floor. Steve Kelly of Steve Kelly Construction donated the site clearing and trenching for the electrical and water extension.
Steve Kilborn of Timberwolf Construction and his crew are to be applauded as craftsmen, but also artisans in the field of log construction. There were also businesses that gave us discounted pricing for materials used in the pavilion. Among those were Buck Levengood of Code electric, Tom Waggoner of Kingston Lumber, and Rob Welch for the painting.
There were other volunteers who showed up to help with the “grunt work”: Larry Anderson, Sonny Woodward, George Morgan, Les Poole, and Walt Elliott.
Many of these volunteers were recognized at the Village Green foundation’s Pie in the Park event and presented with pies. Recently Kingston Rotary hosted a Happy Hour at the pavilion on October 5, thanking these volunteers. The Pavilion will be dedicated to Rotarian Rea Mowery, who made significant contributions to our Kingston Rotary Club.
This Happy Hour also served another function for our club. Beer and wine from our Rotary Summer beer garden couldn’t be held over, so we needed to dispose of the excess. It was a tough job, but we Rotarians were up to the task.
