Also, on Monday around 9:30 am we will be having a small dedication ceremony for the placement of a new plaque on the overlook. All are welcome to attend. We will have some volunteers offering to shuttle up for the ceremony. If you'd like a ride up, they will be transporting from the Rowlesburg Park between 9 and 9:20am.
