THEY ARE BIG AND BEAUTIFUL! 2014 has been our sixth year for Focus Elmvale’s Hanging Flower Basket project. This year has been the biggest challenge yet, when it came to finding sponsors for the baskets. Each year the floral display has improved and been more and more attractive, not only for visitors to the village, but also the www.MARLYNNS.ca residents of Elmvale. Focus Elmvale is now looking for another community group to take on this special project for next year. Fresh ideas and connections are possibly what are needed for the project to continue. Copies of all of our sponsor request letters, lists, pictures and media articles will be made available to the persons who carry on the project. It is hoped that this year the Township of Springwater finds the resources to enable them to water and leave the baskets up until the after the Thanksgiving weekend, weather permitting.
