Eagle Scout Makes Benches for Clearbrook Center of the Arts at Tacketts Mill

LAKE RIDGE, Va. — Sean Zylich, of Boy Scout Troop 295, has fulfilled the requirements of Eagle Scout rank by designing and implementing the construction of 12 ash benches  at the Clearbrook Center of the Arts, located at the Tacketts Mill shopping center in Lake Ridge.  

The benches will be displayed around the Tackett’s Mill Center after they have been painted by local artists through a design competition.  

Clearbrook Center of the Arts is a new presence in Lake Ridge and is located at 2230B Tackett’s Mill Drive.  The center relies on local volunteers and seeks to promote artistic and educational activities in the eastern end of Prince William County, Virginia and the public appreciation of these activities in both public and private venues.  

The Clearbrook Foundation, a  Virginia non-profit, is underwriting the Center of the Arts and is funding Prince William County’s Poet Laureate program.

Tackett’s Mill’s June event, Poetry and Jazz, crowned Zan Hailey and Dr. Robert Scott as Prince William County’s first ever Poet Laureates.

The lucky person who finds the fève (a porcelain charm hidden in one of the slices) becomes the King or Queen for the Day, and don’t worry—there will be plenty of royalty to go around! ??
