If you have had the opportunity to enjoy the 2014 improvements to the Memorial Park area beside the New Richland Post Office, you will notice the growing number of engraved bricks being installed. The improvements have added a sense of reflection and peace as you enjoy the scenery of the mural from donations of many, the bench in honor of long-time firefighter Tom Bruzek and the many bricks that have been donated by families remembering a loved one.
Orders continue to be taken for the bricks. They are $100 with your choice of wording, with or without any artwork. The money goes into the Mural Fund which will be used for continued upkeep and improvements to the area. If you wish to order a brick, you can do so by stopping up at City Hall and filling out a form or you can contact Gail Schmidt at (507)-383-1147.
If you have not had the opportunity to visit the area, it is hoped you do so.
