Mission Accomplished!

Clayton McLain Memorial Museum

Last week, Rob Waldner (Rose City Memorials Ltd.) spent an afternoon working on the Friends of Tomahawk Park brick mosaic. He added 16 inscriptions!! The CMMM is very grateful to the individuals and families who participated in the fundraiser this year and – not to forget – the hundreds who have supported this project since 2012. Our sincere appreciation to all.

Here are a few photos of Rob working on site:

Beginning the set up for the work on 16 bricks. Pictured: the glue pot, 3 cut stencils with lettering painted for visibility, and marking tools.
set up continues with masking of surrounding bricks
Two areas of bricks to be blasted with masking of surrounding bricks in progress. Note that once the stencil is glued in place, the cut letters are pulled out for sandblasting.

highlighting the bricks after blasting
After the lettering is sandblasted, it’s highlighted. Then, the rubber and masking are removed.

For those who had bricks inscribed this year, expect to receive a photo of your brick(s) in the mail next week. Your charitable donation receipts will be mailed in the new year. Thank you!
