Below is a link to the first campfire in the new campfire pit at Lions Camp Horizon at Bay Horizon Park on June 26, 2010.  The renovated campfire circle, benches and new pit are the project of Eagle Scout candidate Michael Aigner, shown in the video with his father Bruce.  The new paint job on the building in the background was also an Eagle Scout project from one year ago.
