The planned Veterans Memorial for Worthington Park received a needed shot in the arm recently with an $11,000 donation from MidAmerican Energy.
“We will be starting the sidewalk around the outside next spring and then purchasing the pavers and getting those sandblasted with the information,” Daryle Zwiefel of Humboldt, a Vietnam era veteran and organizer of the project, said.
The MidAmerican donation came about through a drawing for non-profit groups at the Iowa State Fair through the MidAmerican Energy CARES, a corporate citizenship effort through the utility company.
