Letter: Keep your eyes open for sunflowers in Tiverton

Posted

Tiverton is such a spectacular place to live. The Tiverton Arts Council wants to help you enjoy this lovely season before winter keeps us indoors.

To motivate you to go outdoors, enjoy nature and the fresh air, we are hiding ( almost in plain sight), clay sunflowers as a reminder of the year and glory of summer. There will be about 300 to be found. They are four inches, labeled with the year and have a string to make them suitable to hang as a decoration. They were handcrafted in Tiverton.
If you find one, and feel like sharing, post it on Facebook.

So, if you are walking about you might you might just find a reminder of summer hiding in plain sight at the edges of a beach, park or road.
If it is your extra lucky day you might find a flower with a tag. Bring the tag to the town manager's office and you will receive a gift certificate to a local business. Good luck!

The arts council is also distributing 10,000 placemats to local eateries. You might enjoy some of the local facts that make this town unique, and you can do the word search while enjoying your meal.

We have also photographed and framed the annual Senior Class Parking Spot display at the high school. There are some talented seniors. Enjoy the display at the library during the next month.

As always we try to enhance the walls of the town hall with artwork provided by our very talented local artists.
