Mayor Steve Widmyer and former mayor Sandi Bloem handled the ceremonial scissors at the dedication of McEuen Field at the Veterans Plaza this morning in front of a crowd of 200-250. At the far right is Dean Haagenson of Contractors Northwest, the general contractor for the project. Second from the right is former Parks Director Doug Eastwood, one of the guiding lights of the project and the single person most responsible for Coeur d'Alene's incredible parks system. The Veterans Plaza will be used for the first time officially at 9 o'clock Monday by local veterans to commemorate Memorial Day. (Photo: Duane Rasmussen)
