We only have a few days left to vote and Texarkana is currently in 65th place to get a $25,000 grant for an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible park with playground equipment in Texarkana. We need everyone to continue to vote 10 times per day. Ask your friends and family to do the same so we can get into the top 40. Take a minute to follow the link below to help.

This is how it works. Make a couple quick clicks of your mouse or use your smart phone and vote for the Jefferson Playground in Texarkana in the State Farm Neighborhood Assist contest. The group is awarding the top 40 cities out of the 200 accepted into the program and Texarkana is currently not where it needs to be to win the grant.

No matter what side of the border you are on, this park will benefit someone you know. It will be a wheelchair-accessible park as well as be accessible for walkers and other folks who are classified under the ADA. Military veterans who have lost a limb in combat would like to enjoy time with their families in this park. There are a lot of people in our community and surrounding areas who will benefit from this park and we only have until June 3 to get in the top 40 so we better get cracking!

Please remember to use your 10 daily votes for Texarkana - Jefferson Playground.
