A Community Project: Missoula Reveals its Newest Riverfront Park and Its Oldest Hand-Crafted Traditions
Friday, February 15, 2008
11:30a.m. – 1:00p.m.
DOUBLETREE EDGEWATER, 100 MADISON
Ellen Buchanan, Director, Missoula Redevelopment Agency presents Silver Park, Missoula’s newest riverfront park. The 14.5 acre park will border the Clark Fork River and will complete the river front trail linking the Ogren Ballpark and the Kim Williams Trail to the California Street Bridge.
Jennifer Anthony of Fearless Engineers, will present a power point about the log and timber frame shelters planned for the park. The Timber Framers Guild will host a workshop in Missoula to teach volunteers the traditional art of timber frame construction and joinery, using recycled materials from the old Champion Millsite building, sinker logs from the Bonner Dam and other local sources. “Re-used materials are being recognized more and more as a valuable construction material. They are also a part of our community’s history”, said Home Resources President, Matt Hisel, one of the project’s sponsors.
Bring your ideas and questions about Missoula’s newest park and its unique, traditionally built shelters and how you can be involved in a Missoula community project.
