Vets Bricks Arrive For Gotte Park

The long awaited veterans bricks have arrived and the VFW #2243 is moving forward with their Gotte Park project. Although Brian Howard said the brick project took longer than they expected and they encountered some pricing issues, it is happening.

In August, the VFW received 60 bricks and more are coming.

If you missed out on the original order period for bricks, the VFW will send in one more brick order and they must receive the information by March 15. Forms to order veterans bricks are located at Hometown Hardware, the Veteran's Office and the Observer. The small brick is $50 and larger bricks are $80. Orders can also be made online at http://www.brickmarkersusa.com/donors/vfw2243.html

In preparation for the brick laying, the veteran area at Gotte Park has also been completed with a walkway and a bridge over the old irrigation ditch to access the wall area.
