A fine time was had Sunday afternoon at the Rotary Park on the Greenbelt. A gathering of more than 50 people heard John Biggs tell the history of the project and Marsi Woody, representing the DAR, re-dedicated their monument. The conclusion of the program featured unveiling the three interpretive signs.  THIS PROJECT IS NOW COMPLETE!!

They are also looking for folks who can assemble bikes.  Here's a note from BBP:
