Wood, speaking on KSAL Morning News Extra Tuesday, credited hundreds of people for pitching in to support the city’s efforts to get back to normal. He specifically pointed to volunteer work at Oakdale Park ahead of the Smoky Hill River Festival, noting that local companies paused work and allowed employees to join in.
With the cleanup underway and community recovery continuing, the volunteer efforts—ranging from storm-related repairs to on-the-ground assistance at key event locations—are helping Salina maintain momentum toward upcoming plans.
