*UPDATE* Thank you for your generosity in helping raise funds to honor Darel &amp; Laverna. Any funds in excess of those needed for the bench will go towards helping revive the Golden Apple Scavenger Hunt that was near &amp; dear to Darel's heart. We appreciate your support!  We are raising $4,500 to place a memorial bench outside Leipold’s on Water Street in loving memory of Laverna Leipold and in appreciation of Darel Leipold. Laverna and Darel have given so much to Excelsior over the years and played a crucial role in shaping both our community and Apple Days into what they are today. The memorial will be a Victor Stanley C-10 bench featuring durable Ipe wood slats and a custom bronze plaque. This specific bench was selected because it meets the City of Excelsior’s required downtown style guidelines and will provide a beautiful, lasting place for the community to gather, reflect, and honor Laverna and Darel’s incredible contributions. The bench will be dedicated during Apple Days on Sunday, September 20. Any contribution toward helping us create this special tribute is sincerely appreciated.
