A Town Rolls up Its Sleeves

A Town Rolls up Its Sleeves
Word travels quickly in the small fishing village of Port Washington, Wisconsin. So when Mardy McGarry wanted to build a playground for kids with special needs, she knew it wouldn't take long to generate interest in the project. But she never expected that 2,800 people -- a third of the town -- would roll up their sleeves and use their vacation days to bring her vision to life.
