A round robin of 3 girls softball team was held and the evening

wrapped up with the Southeast Nebraska band providing music

and the dedication of the new Walking Path, with

Bob Brandt as Master of Ceremonies.Brandt noted that last year

we dedicated the Unadilla Arboretum and the Walk Path

project was the next natural step to improving the Park.

The Unadilla Area Fund received a matching grant from the 

NRD with the Village of Unadilla contributing money also. He 

thanked a long list of contributors and encouraged everyone

to take a stroll on the new path, sit on the benches, and take

in the natural beauty.
