Local Boy Scout refurbishes Memorial Park cannon

Boy Scout Noah Hudson worked to renovate a World War I cannon and move it to a new location in Memorial Park for about nine months. The cannon will be dedicated to Elmore County residents who served in World War I on the 100th annual Veterans’ Day. (Amalia Kortright/The Wetumpka Herald)

A familiar staple at Wetumpka’s Memorial Park has recently received a much-needed facelift, thanks to a local Boy Scout.

For his Eagle Scout project, Noah Hudson, 16, refurbished the World War I cannon that formerly stood on blacktop in the park and moved it to a new spot near the Coosa River.
