The Brubaker Playground in Litchfield will open in a few weeks. Construction on the playground being built in honor of Clyde and Helen Brubaker began in May. Litchfield Park District President John Leonard says the cars made for the playground will be put in next week.

"The cars will be from Model Ts all the way up to the last car will be an electric car and they're going to go on a rubber road that has a yellow line for the imagination for the kids to give them something great to have. It's going to be quite the playground when it's done. They'll be no other like it around. These cars are especially handmade... these are by design of the Brubaker family."

The grand opening ceremony for the playground begins at 11am on Saturday, September 5th at Davis Park next to Memorial Pool. A free swim at the pool takes place from 10am to noon that day. Pictures of the work and progress on the playground can be found on the Brubaker Playground Facebook Page. Other upcoming park events include a free summer concert featuring Scrap, Iron & Gold at 6:30 tonight (August 14th) at Walton Park. Also the Fall Festival at Walton Park takes place on September 26th.Thomack 8/14/15
