The Mower Gang Is Quite Busy
Weekly:
Just about every week in the spring, summer and fall, some folks get together to answer the need for a playground or park that needs to be mowed. These events are organized using our Facebook page. It is usually an informal post on the Detroit Mower Gang’s wall that says “Hey dudes, I’m going to mow at ____________ park on Wednesday after work. Anyone want to join me?” A post like this will usually garner about 4-8 guys and the park will get mowed. Click here to see if anything is going on...
Monthly:
We usually plan one larger event per month. These events include some type of event or contest and are more elaborate. Just like a biker rally, we can have a cookout, a nighttime event, a chain saw party, a bonfire, scavenger hunt, maze mowing, all sorts of things are possible at these events. These events are planned using the “Events” tab on our facebook page. While weekly mows usually just involve hard work and the reward of a job well done, the monthly events are usually more fun and thus more attractive to friends and families. A typical monthly event will have 20-40 people, sometimes more. Click here and it might bring you to the correct place.
2012 Plans and Goals:
This will be our third year and it looks like a good one. We are starting off the year with some great publicity with an appearance on Bizarre Foods. Without getting into specifics, (specific events will be listed on the Facebook page) the gang plans to get out there and make sure the kids of Detroit have outdoor places to play. Our two main parks are Dorais Playground (and the velodrome there) and O-Shea Playground. Dorais has a velodrome and a very large garden, O-Shea has a tall-grass maze that we have created and maintain. We will try our best to keep these two large parks in great repair this year.
We will also be caring for smaller parks and areas when they need an emergency fix or mow.
