Art From the Heart




The Memorial Sculpture, commissioned by the Lind Centennial
Committee, was designed and constructed by artist, Dave Govedare, and 15
feet high , 36 feet long. It was placed on a six-foot high concrete foundation
and has an 18-inch base of lava stone masonry from nearby rock formations.
Inside the concrete base is the community’s Time Capsule to be opened in
2038. The sculpture depicts the three elements most important to Lind’s
heritage: the people, the railroad, and agriculture. Formal dedication
was June 5, 1988 in the new Memorial Park. 


The Lind Memorial Park was given to the Town of Lind after
the celebration. However, local citizens continue to maintain the beautiful
rose garden and help the Town park maintenance crew with upkeep.









 









Lind
Centennial Monument.....and Lind 



A Spokesman - Review photographer from Spokane arrived to 
photograph our Centennial Monument with the citizens of Lind. The time was set - 
12:00 noon! By 11:45 only a few citizens had arrived at the Memorial Park and 
the photographer asked, “Where are the people?” Carol Kelly told him, “Be 
patient, it doesn’t matter where they come from in Lind it will only take 5 
minutes to get here!” At 12:00 most all 500 residents were in the park and ready 
for the photograph to be taken.
