Gygax Park Bench in Place!
On June 1st, the Lake Geneva Public Works Department installed the new Gygax Park Bench donated by the Gygax Memorial Fund. The bench is located at the far west end of Elm Park (aka, Library Park), where Gary used to read books from the Lake Geneva Public Library, dreaming of one day living in a mansion and writing fantasy novels of his own. Gary would realize this dream in the 1985, living in Stone Manor and writing the fantasy books that would make him a NY Times Best Selling Author several times over.
This July 27th, 2023, on Gary Gygax’s birthday, we will be officially dedicating the bench along with the grateful City of Lake Geneva. Stay tuned on our Events page to see times and dates for this and many other exciting events. Come join us as the Gygax Memorial Fund and the City of Lake Geneva celebrate their most famous son!
This completes the 2nd of several initiatives that fulfill the mission statement of the Gygax Memorial Fund, to create events and installations that educate the public on the accomplishments of Gary Gygax and his importance to the City of Lake Geneva and the World!
Ultimately these Initiatives will lead to the community engagement necessary to build the Gygax Memorial in the City of Lake Geneva.
