The Maintenance Shutdown has been successful in getting several important updates done, however we are getting down to the wire trying to get everything back to normal after having the flexibility of the temple being closed. We are excited to have the temple open again, and have things back running again. Here are some pics of the after picture of what the Southwest area near the front of the temple looks like now, and the crew we have had this fall season.

| We are really excited how this project turned out, hopefully the wedding parties that get family pictures will like how it brings out the temple in the background. |
