Hip Hip Hooray!

I often find myself cheering on our little town. My Main Street USA. This week I cheer louder than usual. I've been working with fellow business owners planing a block party. This is very exciting because, we have never combined our efforts to plan an event on Main Street before. We met this morning and one member of the group said it so nicely: " this will be a special day where our community can come together, putting politics and differences aside." We all know how hard this can be to accomplish in a small town. Can you hear me cheering? The group has named the event, The Gardiner Cupcake Festival. Mark your calenders for May 9th! I will fill you in over the next few weeks on more details.

My cheering continued when these markers were planted yesterday. (notice the pink) They mark the spaces throughout our Hamlet for the arrival of sidewalks. Hooray!
