Plainfield Recreation Committee

The Plainfield Recreation Committee typically has working meetings, as needed, at the Recreation Field. The Recreation Committee's goals include economically maintaining and developing the Recreation Field, as well as maintaining a safe and clean environment, for town residents and visitors. Yearly events include an Easter Egg hunt at the Methodist Church and a Fishing Derby at Farnham's Pond. Be sure the check the calendar on the home page for Special Recreation Events!

Help Build Our New Picnic Shelter!
The Plainfield Recreation Committee is looking for volunteers to help us build a new picnic shelter during August (draft are shown to the right). We are looking for six to eight volunteers on the following days:

• Saturday, September 29 from 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM (pizza provided!)
  
• Saturday August 18 from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM
  
• Sunday August 19 from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM
• Saturday August 25 from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM
• Sunday August 26 from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM

We are putting up a timber frame shelter under the guidance of local timber framer Seth Kelly who is generously donating his time for this exciting project. If you have some building or timber framing experience, that is a plus but not at all required. Snacks and drinks will be provided! If you can help with feeding volunteers that would also be a big help! Contact Jamie Spector with questions and to sign up to voluneer. Please bring hearing and eye protection.

We also need:

• eight sets of sturdy saw horses
• 12-gauge and 10-gauge power chords

Our goal is to have the shelter up by Old Home Day on September 8! Thank you in advance for any support that you can offer. It takes a village!

Planned Picnic Shelter Design

Many thanks to Seth Kelley of Knobb Hill Joinery (knobbhill.com) for designing and volunteering his time to lead the picnic shelter project!

It's true that many hands make light work!

Many thanks to everyone! When your picnic is sheltered during a rainy day, be sure to remember our dedicated volunteers!
