Iroquois Park Northern Overlook Public Meeting for Design Presentation
The public information session held on July 15,
was a great success. A special thanks to all of you that came out, or
participated in the online survey. We received some wonderful feedback which is
being used to help design the new look for the Northern Overlook.
Our next meeting is scheduled for August 19, 2014 at the Iroquois
Amphitheater from 6 to 7:30 p.m. where we will present the design
recommendation.
Remember, Olmsted Parks Conservancy’s fundraising efforts are ongoing for this
project, and your financial support is greatly appreciated, by visiting www.olmstedparks.org, or

between The Little Loomhouse & Cabbage Patch Settlement House, more than 20
at-risk youth were able to sample several distinct styles of fiber arts through
new curricula that organizers hope will be picked up by more traditional arts
education providers in the future. The Little Loomhouse is a volunteer-operated
arts nonprofit that provides textile and folk art classes and demonstrations, at its registered historical cabins on Kenwood Hill in South Louisville. Cabbage Patch Settlement House, which was
founded in 1910, is located at their expansive campus is on Sixth Street in Old Louisville. cabbagepatch.org
