The Veterans Memorial Park Pavilion Fundraiser officially begins.  The proceeds of this fundraiser will be used to construct a large pavilion at the park and a veterans memorial in front of the pavilion.  The memorial will consist of a brick pathway with a flagpole at its center.  The pathway will lead from the park entrance to the pavilion, encircling the flagpole.  The pavilion will be located where the existing basketball courts are.  It will be a multi-use facility, providing shelter for the basketball courts, other recreational pursuits, the Cracklin festival, community functions, fundraisers, etc.  The building roof has been designed to resemble the crossed sabers used in military ceremonies.  Twenty-four post footings, representing 24 hours of the day, support the building.  This project is a way to memorialize those we love and to contribute to our parks and recreation system.  As a town, we are actively attempting to improve our park system for the betterment of our community.  There are two ways to donate to this project.

A. BRICK PATHWAY The brick pathway is limited to those who are service connected.  For a minimum donation, personalized engraved bricks honoring veterans may be obtained.  The engraved bricks will form the memorial pathway.  Two brick sizes are available:  4x8 inches and 8x8 inches.  The 4x8 inch brick will have up to 3 lines.  The 8x8 inch brick will have up to 6 lines.  Each line may have up to 18 characteristics (including spaces).  The content of the bricks is limited to Name of Veteran, Branch of Service, Date of Service, Rank, War Service, including Battles and Medals received.
