It was very successful last year and hopefully it will do even better this year.

All proceeds go to help the food bank. For each $1 donated, 7 meals are given to those in need and transferred to over 51 non-profit agencies in Montgomery County.

Please come out and support this great cause. There will be Live Music, Horseshoe Tournaments, Food, Inflatables for Kids, Shoot-Outs, Re-enactments, Western Art, Kids Corral and much more.

Hope to see you there this Saturday (11/19) from 11 to 7.

It has taken a lot of hard work, but the Jardine chimney is complete. This marks the completion of the first of four chimneys that needed to be rebuilt within the park. A lot was learned during the the work on this chimney, not the least is the high cost. If you are interested in helping the park with the additional chimneys and other projects, please visit our donation page.

The next steps are to place it on its new foundation and start repairs.

I have added more photos of the move here.

Weather permitting, it will make the journey to its new home at Fernland Park early next week.

Thanks to all of the volunteers, City staff, The Montgomery Historical Society and Cherry house moving for making this happen.

This type of chimney would have been what you would have found on cabins of this age. Due to their relative impermanence, very few examples of these chimneys exist today.

Stop by and check out the progress. More photos.
