A big thank you to the Garden Club for planting flowers throughout the village and helping make our community look its best. Your hard work and dedication are truly appreciated!

While you're enjoying the new blooms, keep an eye out for the “dollars for flowers” sponsored by the Friends of the Village hanging baskets, which will be hung throughout the village later this month. Summer is starting to take root, and our village is looking more beautiful every day!
