BUZZ AROUND BONNIEVILLE June 29, 2012

Hello Friends! The final Bonnieville directional sign was placed at the Exit 71 North ramp. Thanks to the BOAZ Foundation, the latest ARC/Brushy Fork-Flex-e-grant, Janet Clauson and Kenny Signs there is a sign directing visitors to Bonnieville and to the Frenchman’s Knob Land Preserve, currently under development. 2012 Jan-June Grant Projects included: Community Meetings & Open houses, the Historic Mural, a pocket Garden behind city hall and the I65 directional sign. Completion of the ramp sign finishes the sign project proposed during the first BOAZ Beautification grant in 2010.

We appreciate every one who advertised in the Bonnieville Homecoming New-Herald Insert, purchasing an ad helped fund this grant! There are many people to thank for their contributions to all of the projects completed during this grant cycle; a heartfelt Thank You to each and every one!

Hello Friends! The Historic Mural on Bonnieville’s ACME lodge is completed. Thank you to our talented muralist Glenda & Dale Krauss for creating such a beautiful scene of Bonnieville’s history. It took hundreds of hours to transform the wall into a collage of historic scenes. Stop by and see depictions of days gone by; WK Jameson, Camp Jefferson, the Jameson House and Bacon Creek Station as a hub of local activity, post office, stagecoach stop, and hotel. Come out and see the magnificent depiction of the Jameson house! Visit glendaswalltowallart.com to see more of her artistry.
