The lamppost flower baskets are blooming once again, thanks to organizer Val Chomyak and the efforts of Garden Club volunteers who helped with the planting in May. We want to especially thank the companies and individuals who provided and operated the lifts needed to complete the task: Richard Gump Construction; Mitch and Todd Blumensaadt and PIB Investments; Mike McCabe and Baycraft Builders; Scott Sneller and The Village of Put-in-Bay; Michael McCann and the Roundhouse Bar; Teddy Mccann and Ian Ladd and Miller Boat Line and Marina.
In addition, we want to thank those who donated money to fund the baskets this year. The Garden Club spends approximately $4500 annually on this project and so appreciates the support of our island community. ·
