The Bolivar Municipal Airport and SOAR (short for, Service Oriented Aviation Readiness) pilot training program are welcoming the community to the groundbreaking celebration of the Andy Glendenning Memorial Park at the airport.
The event will begin at 12 p.m. on Friday, June 2, commemorating the 40th birthday of the late Andy Glendenning, a former flight instructor with SOAR who, for many years, shared his experience and love for aviation to many missionaries through the program.
The park will recognize his impact at the airport and provide a welcoming attraction for arriving visitors and passersby, serving as a free area for residents to enjoy outdoor activities and an easy-going atmosphere for local school groups to watch the planes during their visits to the airport.
“If you are a fan of Andy, parks, or just this Bolivar community, please join us on Friday, June 2nd for a groundbreaking of the park,” says Ben Salmon, a member of the Friends of the Bolivar Parks. “This will be a fun event where you can find out how you can be a part of making this park a reality!”
In its beginning stage, the park will feature a pavilion, walking track, picnic tables, and playground equipment.
Details about the park and the groundbreaking event will be provided as more information becomes available.
