Welcome to Merrill Wisconsin! |
Located in Lincoln County, our claim is to be one of the gateways to the great Northwoods. Our area is bountiful in parks, public forests, hundreds of miles of snowmobile and ATV trails and many lakes to fish and play. The mighty Wisconsin River winds through Merrill and invites you to enjoy water sports or simply gaze and enjoy its beauty. Enjoy our many scenic parks and public forest areas where Mother Nature will be sure to display her seasonal show of color and natures critters can be enjoyed. If you enjoy nature because you like to play or simply observe, then Merrill is a bit of God's Northwoods Country. |

FRIENDS OF NORMAL PARK BRICK WALK
MERRILL, WI -- The Merrill Area Chamber of Commerce Foundation, Inc. in partnership with the Merrill City Band and the Lydia Baumann family have announced the formation of a new group called the Friends of Normal Park. The new group will be raising funds for enhancement projects to Normal Park in coordination with the new gazebo that will be erected next year for the city band in memory of Stan Baumann. The gazebo is being donated to the city by the Baumann family.
The Friends of Normal Park Enhancement Fund has been set-up with the Merrill Area Chamber of Commerce Foundation, Inc., a not-for-profit 501.c(3) organization. The Foundation is an independent organization from the Chamber of Commerce, having its own board of directors, but with administrative duties coordinated by the Chamber’s staff. Donations made to the fund are tax-deductible. Other funds established with the Foundation include the Hanging Flower Basket program and Holiday Lighting/Decorations at the Courthouse.
The initial project of the Friends of Normal Park is a commemorative brick walkway. The walkway will surround the gazebo and establish the first walkway from the gazebo to the southeast corner of Normal Park. Bricks can be purchased in four sizes: 4x8 inch for $100.00; 8x8 inch for $150.00; 12x12 inch for $500.00; and 24x24 inch for $1,000.00 (this size has a limited availability). Each brick can be engraved with names, dates or special messages commemorating an important event in your life, loved one’s life or business/organization. The bricks make wonderful gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, holiday gifts or simply to honor someone in a permanent way. Additional bricks will be placed twice per year. |
