Community invited to celebration at Wooster Green featuring dedication of donor plaques

On behalf of the Wooster Green Steering Committee in partnership with the BG Chamber of Commerce, the City of BG and the BG Historical Preservation Commission, please consider this an open invitation to attend a community-wide celebration at the Wooster Green on Friday, Aug. 16.

On this date beginning at 11 a.m., we will be dedicating the donor plaques at the Wooster Green as well as the recently installed historical markers at this all-important community “gathering place.”

The program will begin with BG’s own Mike Williams on Sax. Mike has dazzled audiences far and wide including his regular appearances at the Stroh Center, the Cleveland Guardians’ Progressive Field among many other entertainment venues.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony featuring BG Mayor Mike Aspacher will begin at 11:30. It will be followed by a brief dedication program in recognition of the history of the Wooster Green, all donors to the WG campaign, current and potential uses of the historic green space as well as the inauguration of the historic marker program.

The Wooster Green is another BG example of combining vision with collaboration and generosity. See you at the Wooster Green on Friday, Aug. 16.

Dick Edwards, Chair of Wooster Green Steering Committee and BG Mayor Emeritus
