Community Rallies to Rebuild Non-Profit Beer Garden After Vandalism

CITA Park, a non-profit beer garden in New Haven, Connecticut, suffered significant damage after a car drove through it two weeks ago. The incident caused thousands of dollars in damage, but the community rallied to help rebuild. "To have this happen was devastating," said Jess Robinson, the author of the video documenting the event. However, the community's response has been inspiring. A work party was held yesterday, and volunteers helped repair fences, repaint walls, and replace damaged turf. One volunteer commented, "Putting up fences, painting, sanding—you name it, there was so much work to be done!" Despite the setback, the park is aiming to reopen on May 16th, demonstrating the power of community spirit and determination.
