The Friends of Goodale Park (FGP) are pleased to announce that the official dedication of the Goodale Fountain will take place on Sunday, May 19. The ceremony marks the bestowment of the fountain to the City of Columbus. This has been an 11-year journey from concept to completion,” said Stan Sells, FGP board of trustees member and chair of the Fountain Committee. “We are grateful to all the people who supported the project with their donations and to the neighbors and friends who waited so patiently as this dream became a reality,” he added. “We invite the public to join us for the dedication celebration,” said Maddy Weisz, FGP board member and co-chair of the event. “In addition to the dedication, the event will feature live music, a costumed pet parade, and an unveiling of the plaque recognizing the supporters who made this tremendous project possible.” The public dedication celebration will begin at 1 p.m. with the pet parade and will conclude at 2 p.m. with the unveiling of the donor plaque.
