Note of appreciation: Volunteers made our city beautiful

Volunteerism and community service is alive and well in the Little City. The downtown’s cascades of hanging baskets, bump-outs and City Park floral displays have warmed the hearts of locals and visitors alike. Three cheers for Kelly Sweeney who masterminds the overall plan, along with additional volunteers, Christine Garrow and Lisa Godfrey. Special thanks to the Leo Lions of Vergennes who swooped in this spring, then again this fall, to save the day as we prepared for the season ahead. Vergennes, the Little City with the Big Heart, owes a huge debt of thanks to all volunteers who are so giving of their time, expertise and muscle too.
