(KNZA)--The dedication of Peuker Plaza at Highland Community College is set for Saturday, October 27.

The Plaza, located on the west side of the Highland campus across from the Walters Wellness Center, was built in memory of long time Highland resident Myrtle Peuker.

Peuker purchased a home on the site in 1960, maintaining that as her residence for the next 35 years.

Her daughter, Janet Peuker Spangler, says her family decided ,after her mother died, that the best way to honor her was by creating a place where people could pause and enjoy nature much like her mother did.

Highland Community College President David Reist says the college was privileged to help the family find a way to honor the memory of Mrs. Peuker. He added the plaza will serve students and the community of Highland for generations as a place to gather and reflect.

The public is invited to join the college and community for the dedication on October 27 at 11:00 in the morning, prior to the homecoming football game with Dodge City Community College at 1:00 that afternoon.
