It is the one year anniversary of when Millennium Park in downtown Lake Charles was set on fire and burnt to the ground. One year later after generous donations and the hard work of the community, it's been rebuilt and is open for business.
Yesterday, I went out to Millennium Park to volunteer in the rebuilding of the park not knowing what to expect. When I arrived, the people there were just the nicest people you could meet.
I walked up and signed up. They then took me to a sight manager who gave me a task and off I went. Here is a little bit about what I did at the park and some pictures of how the park is starting to take shape
Cajun Radio and me, Mike Soileau, will be out at Millennium Park Thursday at 10am volunteering to help rebuild the park.
I will be also be broadcasting live from the park. I should have a lot of time to talk on the air because I have absolutely no skills in building things.
Want to volunteer? Here is how.
It’s incredible to see the citizens of Lake Charles come together to improve their community in the wake of the Millennium Park fire, and we here at Cajun Radio want to be a part of that movement. Between Oct. 26 and Nov. 6, volunteers are going to undo what a teenage arsonist heartlessly did last January. By restoring the park, we’re coming together in a positive way – and we hope you’ll join u
