Memorial Day Park Dedication

A re-dedication of the Sherwood Memorial Park was held memorial day after the Memorial day services at the Sherwood cemetery, May 29th. The dedication service was to honor the sponsors and donors that have helped to make this park a reality.

Matt Gillroy of the Defiance Economic Development Corp. began the ceremonies with much praise on the development of the park so far and gave credit to the many that have helped bring this project together. Members of the Sherwood VFW were on hand to provide a flag raising ceremony and a 21 gun salute.

There were about 40 people on hand that made this event complete, some from as far as Florida. After the dedication ceremony, a potluck was held by The Sherwood VFW. Take a look at the pictures below to see the day.
