Committee seeking public assistance with site development in time for Memorial Day
With the onset of spring, the Allamakee County Freedom Rock Committee is ready to embark on the continuation of Phase II of the Freedom Rock project for Allamakee County.
Last August, the Freedom Rock became a reality when it was Allamakee County’s turn to have Freedom Rock artist Bubba Sorensen design and paint the rock, which is located at the Waukon City Park. At that time, a fundraising campaign was begun to help offset the costs for the painting of the rock, paint and supplies.
Now the Committee is looking to develop and finish the Freedom Rock site to be ready for summer tourists and visitors this year. The Phase II workplan had originally included the building of a shelter to help protect the rock from weather elements, along with security and lighting, landscaping, cement work and signage.
