The funds raised will enable the BV Chamber to complete a live music stage at McPhelemy Park. The personalized legacy bricks (in two sizes) will be laid to create a 9-foot circular statement in front of the stage. With live music, plays, dance, poetry, achievement celebrations, demonstrations, 4th of July Freedom Fest, Gold Rush Days and numerous other events, this project will meet a large and ongoing community need, the Chamber’s website states.
