downtown beautification 2022

thanks to everyone who helped us beautify our downtown and get it ready for the summer season!

We had a wonderful flower planting and clean-up day on Saturday, May 28, 2022. Around 20 volunteers helped us plant flowers around the tree bases and get our downtown looking its best for the upcoming summer season! It was a beautiful day to beautify our downtown!

It’s always exciting when a new project to beautify the DDA district is brought to us by someone who appreciates the value in small investments that have a big impact, thanks Julie! Planting vibrant flowers in the tree bases will add visual appeal and make the DDA even more spectacular this summer season. It has been my pleasure to work with Anne Gentry, Rachel Smolinski and Julie Dietz on this project and I can’t wait to see the flowers in full bloom.”
