The new park on East Main Street held a dedication and naming ceremony at 2:00 p.m. About 100-150 people turned out to enjoy watermelon and ice cream and enjoy the opening ceremony.

Speakers included: Mayor Jim Hatley, Town Manager Jeff Morse, and the muralist, Clive Haynes. Haven Street performed the national anthem and the Old Colony Players chorus sang a few hymns.

The forty-five minute ceremony was highlighted by the unveiling of the park's new name, Village Park, a ribbon cutting, and the starting of the waterfall.

Fifty-one small "objects" are painted into the mural, some of which will require binoculars to see. A list of all the objects, but not their locations, is available at the Old Rock School and at Town Hall.
