These city crew members clocked in on Monday morning and went straight to work planting the dogwood trees.

LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF) – Six dogwood trees were planted (TOP PHOTO) on Monday morning in the big grassy area between the La Follette Public Library and the West La Follette Community Center.  

Mayor Mike Stanfield said the first tree, a pink dogwood,  (above) is in memory of Conner Lane.  The other five trees, he pointed out, will be dedicated in memory of City and LUB employees.

La Follette Mayor Mike Stanfield said, “This is a joint effort between the City and the La Follette Utilities Board (LUB) to memorialize former employees (and their families) with the trees.”  The mayor added there is a mix of two pink and four white dogwood trees and that a dedication is forthcoming.

The first dogwood tree was planted at the corner of West Beech Street and South 9th Street.
