Friends of Fountain Square,
Fifteen years of hard work and patience have come to fruition, and we now have a new Fountain Square centerpiece.
We’re planning a dedication ceremony to mark the completion of our first phase of construction, and to officially turn on the fountain. The event will be a combined celebration with the organizers of the Shamrock Run, which will bring more than 2,000 runners and walkers through Fountain Square the following morning.
Here are the details:
What: Fountain Square Fountain Dedication
When: Friday, March 12, 2010, 10:00 a.m.
