Sprucing up Main Street for Summer
Summer is just around the corner and the historic downtown business district is busy preparing for its summer event season.
The Downtown Bradford Business District Authority is again hoping to be able to purchase hanging baskets for the historic Main Street area.
"We are looking for donations for individual baskets, which we have done in previous years,” said Main Street Manager, Anita Dolan. Donations can be made by businesses, individuals and organizations. They can also be made in honor or in memory of someone. Each donor will be recognized with a certificate of appreciation for their part in the project.
A long time sponsor, the Betty Jane Monjar Garden Committee is again helping financially with the event.
“The Garden Committee has always been very supportive and helpful with this program. Their generosity will again provide for some of the baskets in our historic area,” added Dolan. More than 50 hanging baskets are needed to complete the project.
The hanging baskets are part of a Main Street clean up and beautification effort planned for this spring. The Main Street Clean up, which will team up with the 4th Annual Elm Street Project Pride Clean up event is scheduled for Saturday, April 24th from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and will coincide with the state wide Let’s Pick It Up, PA! program. Streets will be hosed down and swept, trash will be collected and flower beds will be weeded.
The Main Street benches and trash receptacles have also received a facelift thanks to the help of Scott Oxley’s carpentry class at the Bradford Area High School.
“People in the community have been tremendously supportive. It is wonderful to see so many people work together to make a difference,” said Dolan. “The baskets that we had last year were beautiful and added so much to the look of our historic district.
People or groups interested in more information about the hanging baskets or Main Street clean up efforts can contact the Main Street Manager’s office in Old City Hall.
