Heritage Park Committee hopes to revitalize
After stepping forward to help lead efforts at Heritage Park, board president Connie Bennett and committee member Jason Ermer look to begin a new chapter.
We really need some folks to step forward and help revive the interest of these treasures and their history,” Bennett said. “Our board has dwindled to two members, and we both have jobs and families too.”
Ermer has already been busy painting the Holst Homestead and making needed repairs along the way, with plans to eventually tackle restoration work on the park's pioneer house, possibly next summer.
A number of community members have verbally committed to serving on the Heritage Park Committee in the near future.
Organizers hope to hold a meeting in September to begin revitalizing Heritage Park and restore the level of organization and activity the site enjoyed in previous years.
