On May 26, the former Willis Park in West St. Paul was officially rededicated as Centennial Park in celebration of the rural municipality’s 100th anniversary.

A crowd of 375 people turned up for the park rededication ceremony, which included the unveiling of a new granite sign.

A time capsule was buried at the site, with the help of former West St. Paul reeve Art Christensen and young West St. Paul residents.
