Lake Orion residents Holly Najjar and Jeff Hudson were able to hold their July 12 wedding as planned in the new gazebo at Friendship Park, as the project is 95 percent complete.
The couple approached the township with an offer to donate labor for the gazebo at the corner of Clarkston and Baldwin Roads, so they could be married where they first met at Barn Daze a year ago. All the labor for the project was donated to Orion Township by Tanner Building and Remodeling of Clarkston.
As of mid-July, parks and recreation director Rock Blanchard said a pathway along with some landscaping was yet to be completed. Finishing touches should be finished by fall.
