Hearty Planters
Neither drizzle nor rain nor wind nor gloom could keep ten dedicated volunteers from perking up the downtown planters on Friday. The holiday clippings are courtesy of Oberlin College (the ultimate recycling) and volunteers came from throughout the community. The group somehow ended up at The Feve afterward...
Thank you to those who helped and if you didn't join us this time, you'll have another chance in the spring!Wednesday, October 21, 2009
