Shiloh’s 2008 Annual Community Celebration
|
by Johnnie Grant
The Shiloh Community Association held its annual community celebration June 21, 2008 with the completion of the Community Gardens Pavilion. Asheville City Councilman Carl Mumpower was the guest speaker and spoke of how the gathering spot was a place to encourage the cohesiveness of the community, and to bring community members together for ongoing positive change.
The Community Association had received an “Outside Agency Grant” by the City of Asheville to build the pavilion in the Shiloh community. The grants funds were used to secure permits and cover the cost of pouring the foundation for the structure. Students from the A-B Technical Community College carpentry program, under the direction of instructor Heath Moody, provided the labor (free of charge) to construct the pavilion.
