All the rain and flooding this year has left some expensive clean-up projects behind, so one area city turned to you to help cut down on costs.

About 45 volunteers are helping in the effort to get Branson's Stockstill Park back to normal.

It's a group effort at Stockstill Park as volunteers like Clark Harris get their hands dirty picking up what a flooded creek left behind.

Harris has lived in Branson for more than 30 years and used the park a lot, so when heard the plea for help, he came.

"I've been down here a lot. There's a running trail that heads clear down to Skaggs Hospital, so I participate in that. My daughter when she was growing up played ball here, played tennis over on courts, so it's a real important community park and when this one was hurt, everybody felt it," Harris said.

It's a hot and sort of slow process as volunteers have to hand pick debris from fences.

"Many hands make it a lot easier, and certainly a lot of the work just has to be done by hand, no way you can do it with a machine," Branson Public Works Director Larry VanGilder said. "We're probably looking at 100 to 150 thousand dollars worth of damage. The main damage is to ball fields."

No matter how much damage to the park though, the flood didn't damage the community's heart in clean-up.

They hope to get the park completely cleaned up this week, but putting it back together will take several more days after that.

The volunteer clean-up effort will continue every day this week from 9 am to 4 pm.
