A little bit of Cranbrook's history will be recognised today at 5:00pm in front of Gerrick's at the Centennial Garden. The Fink Fountain, now a refurbished static sculpture will be rededicated to the memory of Jacob Pius Fink, Cranbrook's first Fire Chief and third Mayor. The restoration of this well-known feature has been a three year project for Cranbrook in Bloom and adds a fitting centrepiece to a garden which marks one entrance to the centre of Cranbrook.
