Roy Warner Park Anniversary Remembering Rosa

In October, 2008 an event was being planned and finalized in preparation to celebrate the 20th year of Roy Warner Memorial Park.  Rosa Lynn Freitag, then park supervisor, was planning this event.  Sadly the celebration never took place.  Rosa suddenly passed away just two days before the event was scheduled.  Fast forward a year, October 3, 2009, and we finally had that 20th-plus year "Celebration of Roy Warner Memorial Park and Remembering Rosa."  Saturday, October 3, 9 a.m. until noon.  Activities included Adopt A Pet, Touch a Truck, park history, light refreshments and a dedication of swings at 11 a.m.  The Shepeard Blood Mobile was on hand accepting blood donations.

The park has undergone some changes in the past year.  The flower beds in front of the main building were revamped, thanks to Rosa's mother Ms. Georgia Seagle and the Wagener Garden Club.  The park is getting a set of swings made possible in part by donations.  The swings were something Rosa had been pushing for and wanted dearly for her park, now they are dedicated to her memory.
