High Country 4-H and the Anza Civic Improvement League will hold a dedication ceremony for a memorial wall to commemorate those who have lost their lives on local highways Saturday, April 6, at Minor Park in Anza, beginning at 10:30 a.m..
The brick wall honors the victims of fatal vehicle crashes that have occurred on State Routes 371 and 79 in the communities of Anza and Aguanga.
“High Country 4-H members Ariana and Rachael Madrid wanted to do something for their rural community,” said 4-H leader Allison Renck. “My husband had been killed in a collision on State Route 79, along with a passenger in the other car. A permanent memorial seemed to make all the accidents and those crosses on the roads very real; it was no longer just a story someone had told them about.”
