Last week, a fun project was completed at Lake Cornelia Park. The bridge near the quiet water area got a little flare thanks to a new lighting project. Lights were installed on and under the bridge. Even more exciting is the fact that the lights are controlled remotely through the internet and can feature many color combinations. The first night this feature was up and running, Eric Rector, Wright County Conservation Director, explained they set the bridge to be lit up in purple, in honor of Amanda "Mandy" Meier Stracke. Purple was Amanda's favorite color. Amanda was married on the bridge in June of 2008. She passed away in August of 2014. Her parents, Rich and Colleen Meier, made a significant contribution towards the lighting project in Amanda's name to honor her memory. Rector noted, “We appreciate the Meier’s support and commitment to making the park a better place for all to enjoy.” Photos provided
