Getting closer to the end of NEON Lumbar Supporter Campaign. They are planning to install all new seats later in September.  The current chairs are 30 years old, and they need to be replaced (major creaking, metal failure and some bad springs are to blame).

"I've worked at the MetroParks for 10 years. First I watered flowers at RiverScape, then I worked at Island MetroPark, and now I work at Wegerzyn Gardens.
