North Canton Heritage Society

Need a holiday gift for that hard-to-buy-for person? Want to honor a veteran, or show your own support of veterans?

Think about buying a commemorative brick at the North Canton Veterans Memorial in Bitzer Park.

The public may still purchase bricks, either to honor or memorialize a veteran of any war, or to show their personal support of the project by listing their own name on the brick, which are installed on the patio of the memorial.

Bricks sell for $75 for a 4 by 8 inch three-line brick, and $125 for an 8 by 8 inch six-line brick. Each line is 20 characters long, including any spaces and punctuation. A certificate for gift giving will be supplied upon request.

Work is now completed on new brick walkways and landscaping through the park. Commemorative bricks purchased over this winter will be installed in late spring 2012. Funds raised by the additional brick sales will be used for a perpetual maintenance fund. Over $100,000 has already been spent on the project, with funds obtained from both the public and from local foundations.
