Join us at Riverbend Park in Mount Vernon, IN, Saturday, May 13th! We will be dedicating a statue of a little boy in the park as a ceremonial beginning of summer. The statue will be placed next to the statue of a little girl, denoting the area as a playground for children.
The ceremony will begin at 11:00 AM. Help us celebrate this new addition to Riverbend park and the continuing improvement of our community. Many families enjoy the park all year, and this statue will help complete the recreational area.
The statue was donated by the Mount Vernon Garden Club and the Azalea Trail Committee. Mayor Bill Curtis and committee members of the donating organizations will be present. Thank you to everyone involved with this project, and we hope to see you all at the ceremony!
