UPDATE: This year, Main Street HP is also hosting a Plant Saleas part of Street Fair!
Downtown Highland Park is about to become a little more colorful. VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED to help out with Planting Day on Saturday, May 21 from 10-2 (ALSO NOTE: Thurs 5/19 from 4-7pm). Start your own tradition! Take ownership of "your" planter.

Planting Day is a fun, easy way to get out, meet friends and neighbors, and have a (beautiful) impact on the downtown. Like cleaning your house ahead of a party, our downtown gets spruced up to host the Run in the Park in Honor of Riki Jacobs, and the 22nd Annual Street Fair!
Make a day--or a weekend--of it in Highland Park!

Call 732.828.8444 for more info, or to sign up.
