A campaign to raise money for new playground equipment at International Falls' Kerry Park is nearing the halfway mark.
Organizer of Pennies for Play Robin Bjorkquist says the $3,000 raised at last weekend's Purple Day Carnival puts them on target to reach the 17-thousand 500-dollar goal.
"Game Time has a 100 per cent matching grant fund," says Bjorkquist. "So if we can raise at least $10-thousand or more, they will match those funds to purchase a brand new play structure for Kerry Park."
The group hopes to reach its mark by the end of May.
