Evansdale plans a memorial at Meyers Lake using the name Angels Park for the park and trail. Dana Frickson, Evansdale Chamber president, leads a fundraising drive to beautify the site with island access, a gazebo, roads, benches, rose gardens, and potential statues. Donations go to Angels Memorial at First Security State Bank and Veridian Credit Union. A concert and community efforts will support the project.
