The event was part of the "Remember When … The Corner of River and Main" celebration Saturday at the Niagara Area Historical Society museum. The statue represents those who worked at the Kimberly-Clark paper mill over the years in Niagara. Museum director Karen Klenke was very happy with the turnout, which included people representing the school, city officials, Miss Niagara, Mr. Niagara, First Lady of Niagara, former mill workers, family members and community members of all ages. "We so thank the community for the support," added CC Tomasi, office manager. The corner of River and Main was the former location of the old Niagara school and was a block from the entrance to the mill. (Marguerite Lanthier/Daily News photos)
