ADOPT A BARREL

The Gasport Beautification Committee is sponsoring their annual Adopt a Barrel contest. If interested in participating, you will be assigned one of the 20 wooden barrels placed on Main Street and along the Erie Canal. As the "owner" of that barrel you'll be required to purchase your own flowers and dirt and you'll have to maintain the barrel through Labor Day.

There will be two stages of judging for the contest. The winner during the July 4th week will get $50 and the winner of Labor Day's judging will get $100.

If interested, please call Debbie Bush at 772.2665.

This is a great contest: not only is it competitive, but it makes Gasport much more beautiful in the process.
