That effort began this weekend with tee shirt sales. Once they raise that money, the city will help. Group president Keevie Bromehorst explains, "Once we raise that, which is definitely going to take some creativity, the city has promised to also then to allocate some money in their budgets."
Granite tiles will also be sold to sponsors and posted at the park. Construction is planned for 2014.
