Still bring paint scraping tools?

Another very successful Wednesday morning meeting of the Hallowell Old Codgers.

Today we combined forces with members of HCC and other dedicated citizens to work on City Hall. We also had the help of our own Officer Johnny. Flower beds were cleaned out, very large invasive plants were removed, the “fountain” was power washed and granite steps brought back to life. Hedges trimmed. The large pine was trimmed and the defunct, holiday lights were removed.

Plan will be to plant native plants requiring low maintenance. Hopefully the fountain can be rotated so you will be able to read the donation information.

I continue to be amazed by what can be accomplished by a dedicated group in a short period of time.

The group also enjoyed ginger brownies made by my wife, Tamara.

Next Wednesday, we will be back at the northern entrance to continue our cleanup and beautification.

Thanks again to our dedicated codgers and codgetes.
