November, 2011: The roof of the pavilion was recently replaced, thus completing the most important
stage of the building's restoration. Bi-State Masonry completed the removal of the old
decayed roof material and installed a new layer of concrete on the roof as well as a
protective coating to seal the roof. However, there is still much to be done on the
building, but these projects will have to wait until sufficient funds are in hand. A
list of the donors for this initial stage of the project will be added to this update
in the near future.
Donors:
Quad Cities Oktoberfest Committee
Community Foundation of the Great River Bend
The Good Samaritan Society
The Roy E Murray Foundation
The Scott County Historic Preservation Society
The Schuetzenpark Gilde
100+ individual donors
