Neighbors in Bloom: A Tribute That Grows with the Seasons

​

In small towns like ours, stories are quietly planted—in casseroles brought over in hard times, in lawn chairs pulled out for a summer chat, and in the kindness passed from neighbor to neighbor. These are the stories that shape our community. And now, we have a way to honor them.

 

Neighbors in Bloom is more than just a beautification effort—it’s a heartfelt opportunity to recognize those who made our lives richer and brighter through simple acts of love. With a $100 sponsorship, you can dedicate a planter at the historic bandstand in honor of someone who planted seeds of kindness in your life. These planters will bring color and life to our community space all season long, serving as a symbol of their lasting impact.

But this project blooms beyond the flowers.

With each sponsorship comes the chance to share a short story—about a loved one, a neighbor, or a community member whose presence made life feel a little lighter. Maybe it’s a grandmother who made Sunday dinners unforgettable, a teacher who saw potential before anyone else did, or a friend who always showed up with a smile and a helping hand.

 

Your tribute will be shared on the Chamber’s website, creating a digital bouquet of memories that future generations can read and be inspired by. These stories remind us of who we are and the neighbors who came before us—those who helped shape the town we call home.

​

Let us continue to grow a community where kindness is remembered, legacies are honored, and the beauty of our past continues to blossom in the present.
