(MENA) The City of Mena along with The Polk County Long Term Recovery Committee held a commemorative tree planting ceremony on Thursday morning.
They met with members of the Polk County Library to plant a tree in remembrance of the April 9th, 2009 tornado that devastated Mena and Polk County.
The day was a day of remembrance and reflection of a date that will live in our memories.
The committee also donated trees to be planted at Aubrey Tapley Park for all too enjoy as well.
The event was attended by Mayor Seth Smith and City Clerk and Treasurer Linda Rexroad, along with board members of the committee and Polk County Librarians.
