Tunkhannock Tree Association - "Riverside Park 2012: The Spirit of Survival" will be the theme and will include a free-standing walk-through gallery of small poster size photos of during and after the 2011 flooding as well as the volunteers working to help restore the park. A $1.00 donation will be requested to help purchase the "Survivor Tree" which will be presented planted at a later time in the park with a bench placed next to it. The "Survivor Tree" will not only be a symbol for the survival of the park but also for anyone who is struggling to cope with a personal issue who can come, sit on the bench and reflect, de-stress, etc. Hot dogs, homemade cookies and water/soda will be sold. All profits will be used to help pay for the "Survivor Tree" and beautify the park with bird-attracting bushes and river birch trees.
