10-YEAR ANNIVERSAY OF THE HOWARD GILMAN MEMORIAL PARK
IN HISTORIC DOWNTOWN ST. MARYS, GEORGIA
Day of Celebration Re-Scheduled for August 6, 2011
The public is invited to attend the 10th Anniversary Re-dedication ceremony of the Howard Gilman Memorial Park and the plaque dedication for the waterfront amphitheater at 10 a.m. on Saturday, August 6, 2011.
There will be brief remarks by St. Marys’ Mayor Bill DeLoughy in honor of the park and those who helped the project come to fruition. The St. Marys Waterfront Theater Group provided the amphitheater roof, which has been a much welcomed addition that has added an architectural interest to the waterfront shoreline.
Among St. Marys’ many spectacular settings is this beautiful park where old fashioned wooden swings hang overlooking the sights and sounds of the St. Marys River. Residents and visitors alike have enjoyed a decade of simple strolls through the park, casual and elegant weddings, and other special events that include the ongoing Starry Nights Series hosted in the park each summer.
