Will the City Park fence ever come down?

It's been 6 weeks and we hear it every day... When will the orange fence come down and we can have access to City Park once again? Short answer ~ when the new grass gets firmly established. In the meantime, enjoy fall flowers and pumpkins popping up all over the downtown!

Kelly Sweeney volunteers her precious time and is the mastermind behind the creative downtown plantings which are enjoyed and photographed daily.

Get to know the Little City on a deeper level. Take the self-guided Historic Sites Walking Tour today! Sponsored by M&T Bank and Coldwell Banker Hickock & Boardman.
