Volunteering their time and equipment, these men spent the day on December 19 finishing up clearing debris and burning the huge pile on the future site of the ATP Veterans Park just west of Iron River. Jules Wilcox was using his back hoe to create the piles that Dennis Glass, of Dennis Glass Construction, was moving to place on the burn pile. Kurt Tibbals of Pine Ridge Land Surveying completed the staking to finalize where the memorial will be built, plus the building and the well, etc. A lot of work was accomplished and the Across The Pond Veterans Park is very appreciative! We can’t build this park without our dedicated volunteers!

Diane Berweger of the Bayfield Electric Cooperative is shown handing a donation check of $1,000.00 to Ray Kangas, Chairman of Across The Pond Veterans Park. Also presented to the Park was a matching check from COBANK, ACE on behalf of the Cooperative. These donations to the Park are what will add up to complete a memorial park we can all be proud of – thank you!

This is a rendering of what the Memorial will look like when it is finished. Pavers will be available to purchase to be used to commemorate names and services.
