MOUNT PLEASANT, IA – The first of five community vision projects will be unveiled on Monday, August 29 at 6:00 pm at a special community celebration and everyone is invited to attend.
“It’s only fitting that our first community vision project includes so much of the history of Mount Pleasant as well as the many dedicated leaders that make Mount Pleasant special” said Kristi Perry, Executive Vice President of the Mount Pleasant Area Chamber Alliance.
This new plaza is a cooperative effort by a number of community organizations. The trailhead includes a history of Saunders Park thanks to the efforts of Pat White and the Henry County Heritage Trust. The trail improvements, plantings and trail map are thanks to the efforts of the City of Mount Pleasant Parks Department. And thanks to a contribution from the Lowe Family, it also includes a plaque in memory of Scott and Amy Lowe who dedicated their time and talents to make our community a better place to live.
The community is invited to join us for a special celebration on Monday, August 29 from 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm at Saunders Park Plaza located directly across from the Mount Pleasant Aquatic Center. Join us at the TTT Shelter in Saunders Park for complimentary hamburgers and hot dogs grilled up by HyVee Food Store. There will be musical entertainment by Whiskey Friends before the program and ribbon cutting at 6:45 pm. Parking will be available at the Mount Pleasant Aquatic Center or feel free to ride your bike down and enjoy the new trail!
