West Bacon Sreet.


East Main Sreet.

An observant blog-reader has noticed something particularly nice about many of the residential photographs that I've been posting: nearly all of them have AMERICAN FLAGS!

I took another photograph, yesterday, but decided not to post it because it's really not that pleasant to look at: it's one of the few mushrooms that no one finds appealing. It showed up in a friend's flowerbed and was fairly rapidly identified as Dog Stinkhorn.

I was going to go away for some of the weekend, but there's simply too much to do right here!

More bulbs to plant, of course, but also E-mails and phone calls to answer and Memorial Bandstand Informational Packets and Donation Forms and Receipts to send hither and yon. In the last three weeks- since the Cruise'in - it's become clear: people want the Bandstand AND they want to see their family names on a monument in the Park.

In order to save all of us some time, I've scanned basic informational material and a donation form to post here. Please notice that we've made a change in the donation categories: we started out with just two - "Sponsors" and "In Memoriam," but quite a few people wanted to honor still-living relatives and so we have added "In Honor of ....... ."

Just click to enlarge each page. If you want to print out the Donation Form, hold your cursor on the image and a dropdown menu will let you save it on your desktop. (Of course, if that fails, just write to me and I'll pop one in the USPS delivery system!)

There is no set "Deadline" for sending donations. We'd like to begin construction as early as possible in the Springtime, and you might also want to have your 2007 tax deductible receipt in hand before April 15th!
