The Rainbow Ridge memorial project was launched a few short hours after news traveled rapidly online about the devastating fire that was occurring at African Safari Wildlife Park. The fire began early Thanksgiving evening, November 28, 2019. Ten animals were killed and the park suffered a large structural loss.
Danbury Township Trustee Dianne Rozak spearheaded the endeavor raising almost $3,000 in monetary donations and nearly $7,000 in donations of time, material and labor. “I could never have done this by myself,” Ms. Rozak stated, adding, “Many people were very generous with their dollars and several offered their time and talent to make this mission a reality. Brent Sanders from Artisan Management was an integral part of the end result. He reached out to contractors he knew as well as businesses and individuals. His contacts joined others who provided monetary, labor and/or product donations.”
The dedication ceremony was held November 20, 2020 at noon. Holly Hunt, co-owner of African Safari and two of her staff members were present along with several other individuals. Ms. Rozak began by thanking all who were involved. She presented the African Safari staff with a dozen red roses and a framed resolution from the township trustees dedicating Rainbow Ridge at Meadowbrook Marsh. Holly Hunt then addressed the attendees, giving an emotional tribute and extending thanks to the countless people who provided assistance and comfort to her staff as they dealt with a long, heartbreaking path to healing. Ms. Hunt planned to bring all of her staff to see the memorial later that day.
Rainbow Ridge is a 150-square foot sand-colored plaza located on a ridge overlooking the marsh at Meadowbrook. A large sign details the tragedy and lists the individuals and businesses responsible for ensuring the project became a reality. A tall grass, planted inside a unique ceramic container, sways gently in the breeze. A custom-designed bench, decorative slate, a compass rose and an engraved monument complete the site. Behind the sign a tri-colored beech tree was planted. Its leaves change color in spring, in summer and in autumn. The sign encourages visitors to look west across the marsh where African Safari Wildlife Park is located, approximately four miles in the distance at the beginning of the Marblehead Peninsula. Rainbow Ridge was designed for remembrance and reflection. We encourage you to visit.
