"font-family: Arial">On April 13, Foley’s Antique Rose Trial was dedicated in the name of A. Perry Wilbourne, who recently retired from his position as Foley’s City Administrator, where he served for over eighteen years. Many of Foley’s city employees, elected officials, and South Baldwin Chamber of Commerce representatives where on hand for the dedication, and a bronze plaque to be displayed at the Rose Trail was presented in appreciation for the many years of service and contributions made by Mr. Wilbourne.

"font-family: Arial">The city continues to expand the Rose Trail and organizers continue to look for new and exciting ideas for additional expansion. A few plans that are currently in the works include a rock stream and a butterfly garden. Once the expansion is complete, the rose trail will be over a mile long and will include over 500 plants.

"font-family: Arial">The project’s current value to the community comes through the enjoyment that visitors and local citizens get as they stroll down the trail of roses. Many communities have a walking trail for the public to use, but Foley’s trail is a unique destination for a wide variety of people. Those who enjoy the trail come from many places and for many reasons; they include walkers, joggers, parents, students, and antique rose enthusiasts. The Antique Rose Trail has helped turn Foley into a favorite destination for a growing number of people who love and have a special appreciation for antique roses. "line-height: 115%; font-family:">
