Still time to support Sassafras playground during Playhouse Parade
The fundraiser, which features a dozen outdoor structures, is raising money for a project to build a new playground for kids of all abilities at Laurel Hills Park in north Raleigh.

I finally got over there with my own family on Sunday. The buildings are amazing. There are six for kids, including a pirate ship, castle and fire station. Another six are geared toward adults and include a potting shed, tiki hut and a Gothic church chicken coop. The structures come furnished and some even have electric and water hook-ups.
My favorite (though I'd be happy with the tiki hut too) was the contemporary play house designed by award-winning architect Frank Harmon. I loved the clear roof, colors and chalkboard walls.My older daughter would have been happy to move into the fire station.
My younger daughter was all about the Let's Play House, a cute little building that included a play kitchen and table inside. That house will be raffled off. Raffle tickets are $25 each or five for $100. The retail value of the building is $6,000 and it could easily be used as a garden shed or outdoor retreat once the kids are no longer interested in playing in a playhouse.
