HELICON - A new veterans monument is coming to Winston County.
Community concerns about a dilapidated store building in Helicon have been  put at ease with the recent announcement of plans to erect the community’s first-ever marble or granite monument, etched with the names of the community’s veterans.
The monument will come complete with a flag pole, maybe a bench or two, landscaping and a multiple-panel sign of advertisements, with proceeds from the ads going to benefit the Helicon Volunteer Fire Department.
