Blueberry_amerpriseBlueberries in Marshall County would like to thank and is proud to announce Paladin Legacy Advisory Group (financial advisory practice of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc.) has spon­sored one of the three foot blueberry sculptures that is adding more art on the streets in Plymouth. This new blueberry has been placed in front of Paladin Legacy’s office on E. Jefferson Street in Plymouth. The colorful depiction of the seasons was painted by artist, Gloria Seitz and is titled ‘Seasons of Life’. It captures the fun and playfulness of family life in the four seasons of life as well as the four seasons in nature with well known landmarks from our great city. Most appropriate representation for Ameriprise which helps people through the seasons of their life from starting a family, educating their children while saving for retirement and then ultimately creating a legacy.

Paladin Legacy Advisory Group and Blueberries in Marshall County is also donating $300 to the Boys and Girls Club of Marshall County. The commitment to donate to the Club started when the Boys & Girls Club was raising money for the renovation of their facility. To date $1200 has been given to the Club thanks to the sponsors of four of the latest blueberry sculptures.

The blueberry sculptures originated through Heartland Artists Gallery and Heiden Creative to add more art on the streets in Plymouth and Marshall County in 2014. Since that time we have placed sixteen blueberry sculptures in the area.

We would to thank all the businesses, groups and individuals who sponsored a blueberry sculpture and also thank those who helped with this venture: Lincolnway Auto Body Shop who puts the finish on the blueberry, Ozinga Concrete for donating the cement base and Heiden Creative as the Project Coordinator.

The blueberries are located all over the city; at the airport, museum, library, hospital, park and business locations. To learn more about the blueberries please go to ‘Blueberries in Marshall County ‘ facebook page.
