Fred Blessin Memorial Update
Fred Blessin was instrumental in leading the effort to create the Duck Creek Path that bikers, runners and walkers enjoy every day. The Quad Cities Bicycle Club decided to establish a memorial honoring Fred along the path with a picnic table, benches and plaque in his honor. QCBC members and friends quickly donated over $2,800. Since that time, the QCBC Board has been working on a concept similar to the Kathryn Kirschbaum memorial (on the west end of the Davenport bike path) in lieu of the picnic table and benches. This beautiful, new memorial will be located at Eastern Avenue Park along the Duck Creek Path.
We envision a plaque, bike racks, benches and a new message board. A total of $12,000 is needed to make this beautiful memorial a reality. The City of Davenport is providing the land and most of the labor. The Cornbelt Running Club has also agreed to ask for donations from its members that enjoy running on the Path. Both clubs will share the new message board.
Please consider a donation. Checks endorsed to “QCBC-Fred Blessin” may be mailed to QCBC, 2833 Kelling Street, Davenport, Iowa 52804
