When was the last time you enjoyed the Howard Gilman Waterfront Park?  The weather is warming up and now is the time to come Downtown and see the new stage roof.  This project was completed in partnership with the St. Marys Waterfront Warehouse Theatre Group and the City of St. Marys SPLOST funding.  Opportunities will open up for the park to host new venues now that the stage is safe from the weather.  Thanks to all who worked hard to make this idea a reality.
