How about a new idea for June 26, 2010 ??
What if the locals get a petition and fundraiser ( that no one can touch ), to change the name of Beerbower Park to " Lindsey Baum Park " ? The money could be used for fencing, lighting, and security. Maybe have a McGruff theme with stations in the park about stranger danger, internet safety, and watching out for each other ?...Hopefully local businesses and the Timberland Library would get involved.
If I was a local it would be an exciting project to accomplish...........
Hi SerendipitySeeker. I think you come up with some good ideas especially with the changing the name of the park from Beerbower. When I see the name, I think of a place to drink beer and a hang out place. I also think it is a good idea how the money would be used for. Maybe some good could come out of Lindsey being missing and the town can heal. I know the name Lindsey Baum Park I think would be a good tribute to Lindsey, but I also wonder if it would bring back memories of how she went missing and the not knowing.
