“Topping Off” – An evergreen bough is ceremonially placed at the top of a rendering of the new Frederick Visitor Center on May 11, 2010, commemorating work on the final structural insulated panels to be installed for the roof. County Commissioner President Jan Gardner, Tourism Council Board President George Wunderlich, Executive Director John Fieseler, Delegation Chairman Paul Stull, and Mayor Randy McClement all spoke at the event which fell during National Tourism Week. The tradition of placing a bough as the uppermost portion of a structure is completed began with the erection of early timber frame barns, and continues with steelworkers topping off new skyscrapers. Tourism Council Board, staff, & committee members joined the elected officials and representatives from Proffitt & Associates - the architects, J. Vinton Schafer & Sons - construction manager, and Rockwell General Contractors to mark this milestone in the project.
