Originally planned and organized in 2012 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of New Eagle, the time capsule – which contains various pictures, newspapers, and family mementos – was buried by the New Eagle Veterans Memorial in front of the Ringgold Administration Building.

The ceremony was attended by New Eagle Borough Council President Jack Fine, Councilman Owen Pucel, Ringgold Middle School Principal Mark Alberta, Ringgold Middle School chorus teacher, Melanie Sandrock, and students from the Ringgold Middle School volunteer group, Love Out Loud (LOL), who helped bury the time capsule.

Chorus teacher, Melanie Sandrock, who accompanied the students to the ceremony, is sponsor to the middle school group that participates in a variety of community volunteer events.

The location of the time capsule’s placement will receive an impressive marble marker, worth $588, as a donation from Parnell Monuments, of Monongahela.
The capsule is scheduled to be opened in 25 years.
