Readers respond to story detailing a successful fundraising campaign to once again restore the Yard Bird after it fell into disrepair:
Douglas Lukascik: I guess it is a nice bird... but really? Sidewalks on Borst Avenue first PLEASE (seems to me the owner of the Yard Birds would just fix it).
Thrifty Missy's: The money being spent on the bird has all been donations from fundraisers put on by the people who care about the bird. The owner of Yard Birds has also donated a large amount. If people think money needs to be raised for other things in the community then set up some fundraisers. If people care about the project, money will be donated for it
Catharine Mccord: Hope the next restoration process will last for a good long time since this last one didn't stay in good shape.
Leslie Kitchel: I am proud of Jason Mattson and what his efforts to “save the Yard Bird” have done in building our community. Countless hours spent to save something that means so much to so many in our community! Bravo Jason!
Louise White: It’s an eye-sore...how about a nice bonfire! What a waste of good money to fix that thing again.
Cynthia Sommers: Okay? I suppose this is a vital need in the community now?
Roberta Carpenter: Fix it right the first time and it will last a while. Try to get the money back from the poor job done on it the first time.
