The Stevens-Connor American Legion Post 1330, in conjunction with the Town of Rush, will rededicate the Rush Veterans Memorial Park on Saturday, September 15.
This rededication is part of the yearlong Bicentennial celebration of the founding of the town of Rush. The park was originally dedicated as the Rush Veterans Memorial Park on May 28, 1964.
Interpretive signage plaques will be installed that include the names of all veterans who have lived in Rush. The plaques will include The American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Lebanon Conflict, the Granada Conflict, the Panama Conflict, the Persian Gulf War and other veterans.
The rededication will take place at the Rush Veterans Memorial Park at 11 a.m. on Saturday, September 15. Parking will be available at Rush Town Hall, Rush Firemen’s Field and the Creekside Inn. The program will last about one hour and will be followed by a luncheon at the Rush Creekside Inn, located across the street from the park. Tickets for the luncheon may be purchased for $10 at the Rush Town Hall, the Creekside Inn, Colby’s or online at rushhistoricalsociety.com and at the event.
