The Bell City Community Betterment Association is in the process of building a city park in downtown Bell City.
The park will enhance the downtown area with decorative tress, flowers and shrubs. In the center of the park will be park benches and a flag pole.
Leading to the flag pole is a community sidewalk. The sidewalk will be made of red brick with engraved granite bricks placed among them.
The engraved bricks will be sold for $25 each. Anyone can purchase a brick in memory of a loved one or for a family member or friend.
Each brick can be engraved with two lines consisting of no more than nine letters to each line. If more than one brick is ordered by a family, and the family would like the bricks to be placed close together, the request should be noted when ordering.
Anyone wanting to purchase an engraved brick can contact or write: Kay Dover, P.O. Box 34, Bell City, Mo. 63735, or Karen Jenkins, P.O. Box 155, Bell City, Mo., 63735.
