Bean Blossom Memorial Wall Project

Foundation Announces Bean Blossom Memorial Brick Wall Project at the Bill Monroe Memorial Music Park

The Bean Blossom Jamboree Foundation has announced the Bean Blossom Memorial Brick Wall Project located at the Bill Monroe Music Park & Campground in Bean Blossom, Indiana. In keeping with the goal of the Foundation, they are offering bricks for “adoption” to fans of the numerous Bean Blossom music festivals and the Father of Bluegrass Music, Bill Monroe. The memorial wall will be located near the famous Bean Blossom sign at the fork in the road near the music stage.
The fully tax deductible price will be $100 a brick this year, and includes custom engraving worded by the brick donor. Each brick will include 3 lines of text and 12 spaces per line. Once the wall goes up, the price will go up to $125 per brick due to the cost increase of engraving while the bricks are already in place. The bricks will be set in available areas at random. A SAMPLE BRICK is shown above, however, the brick color may vary. Order forms and online orders are available at http://fburls.com/19-0WT40TSr/t/cid/543138/sid/97155905 or can be mailed to: BBJF, c/o Bill Monroe Music Park, 5163 North State Road 135, Morgantown, Indiana 46160. A pdf version of the order form can be downloaded here.The Foundation has already received huge interest in the Bean Blossom Brick Wall project during the planning time and feels like fans and patrons of the park could also purchase these as for birthday, Christmas, Anniversary or other gifts.
