SHERBURNE — Sherburne-based log home manufacturer Lok-N-Logs is paying homage to those lost during the September 11 terrorist attacks, that killed nearly 3,000 Americans in 2001.

The company is building a memorial to be unveiled at 1 p.m. on Saturday, September 11, at the Lok-N-Logs headquarters located on Route 12, south of the Village of Sherburne.

Partnered with Tunnels to Towers, an organization that raises money for victims of 9/11 and their families, Lok-N-Logs will be asking for free-will donations and holding a raffle at the event to raise money, and will match contributions up to $10,000.

"We've got permission with Tunnels to Towers to be a partner," said Lok-N-Logs owner and founder Jim Webb. "And Lok-N-Logs is gonna match the giving of the $10,000 if it goes that high."

The monument will be a 14 foot tall replica of the twin towers, constructed from steel, concrete, and granite.

"The inside is a steel frame which is buried in three feet of concrete, and the faces of the mini towers will be gray granite, and will have 12 inch letters which read 'Never Forget.' On top of the north tower will be an aluminum radio tower replica that will be 42 inches tall," Lok-N-Logs officials said in a statement regarding the memorial.
