LAKEPORT >> The Lakeport Main Street Association announced it would dedicate a series of items following the Memorial Day Parade on Saturday, May 26.
The Association, sponsor of the Lamp Posts of Life, will dedicate three new light posts to honor Janel Chapman, Jillian Billester and Bill Sr. and Byron Whipple.
The ceremony will also include a mural dedication, which recognizes a series of murals planned for various locations in downtown Lakeport intended to represent the historical and cultural aspects of the city. Since June of last year, the first mural in the series has added a pop of color to downtown. The artwork, on Main Street and Third Street and by artist Gloria De La Cruz, depicts a sunset view of Clear Lake.
The dedication will also include the Downtown Memorial Street Tree Program on Main Street. Small plaques honoring Lake County residents have been placed at the base of each tree, planted last year.
The LMSA said it has “a long history of its dedication to supporting downtown Lakeport. The beauty of the trees and lamp post add to the city’s history with these dedications honoring its residents.”
The LMSA shared the names of those dedicated on the plaques:
Andre and Edith Aldeghi, Ronald R. Woods, Pilar Luchsinger White, Ryan Rees White Russell and Robert White, Dr. Perry F. and Melia Bella Gayaldo, Honorable Arthur H. Mann and Dr. Judith E.
