As reported by several local papers (see links below), the Trident depot has been moved to Milwaukee Park on July 27, and the footing were poured on August 22. The next step is to put in the cement block foundation. A bid by a local contractor has been accepted for $12,000, but the Society is $10,000 short.

Over $24,000 has been raised so far, but the lastest estimate puts the project cost at $63,000. Over 121 people and groups have purchased the $100 Memorial Bricks and fundraisers, such as the Bake Sale during the Annual Horse Drive and the Ice Cream Social have brought additional funds.

Members of the Society may sign on a loan to get the foundation in this winter, but it is hoped that a plea to the community for urget funding will not go unheard.

Engraved memorial bricks are being sold at $100 each. These bricks will be incorporated into the landscape around the depot. Those interested can download the engraved memorial brick form, complete it and return the form with a check to the Society at the address below.
