McKinley is a member of the Chamber unveils its plans for flower baskets on streetlamps Geibel has announced that the chamber will install hanging flor- al baskets on the light standards in downtown Shelton. It'll be a flowery summer in Shelton this year. ShelteR-Mason County Cham- ber of Commerce President Jeff MARY GARDNER, chair for the chamber's hanging baskets project, sketched the general effect. "The Olde Towne ShelteR Asso- ciation has pledged money for the baskets downtown," Geibel said. He's expecting other parts of town to join in, he added. "We're also offering the baskets to places in the county," Geibel said. The hanging baskets filled with colorful flowers soon will be installed on light and utility poles along Railroad Avenue, thanks to the cooperative efforts of the chamber and the city of Shelton. The chamber's board of direc- tors recently decided to move ahead with the hanging baskets project and is now soliciting funds from downtown merchants to pay tbr them, Shelter Mayor Scott Hilburn announced at last week's city commission workshop. The chamber will pay the city $125 per pole to maintain the baskets throughout the summer tourist season, Hilburn said. Two 18-inch moss baskets will be attached to each of 21 poles along Railroad Avenue from First to Eighth streets. Mary Gardner, chairperson of the chamber's hanging basket committee, said the baskets and flowers will ar- rive the week of June 1. Once the baskets are hung, they will stay up until the end of September. "The program really got off the ground when the city of ShelteR agreed to maintain the hanging baskets," she said. "The chamber will pay the city for the main- tenance." Railroad Avenue in downtown ShelteR is the first area to spring for the decorative baskets. The Olde Towne Shelton Association made a pledge to collect money from its members to pay for the 42 baskets, according to Ryan Da- vis, president of the association. The hanging brackets that will be attached to the poles are de- signed from the historical theme used along the Railroad Avenue Improvement Project. The brack- ets will be made at the Washing- ton Corrections Center and will be installed prior to June 1, Gardner said. And, while Railroad Avenue will be the first area to feature the hanging baskets, the chamber is offering the program to mer- chants by area in other parts of the city and county, said Geibel. Those merchants interested in the offer may call the chamber of- fice at 426-2021. i i i i Question of the Week: ADVOCATES FOR RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT -- and -- MASON COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL By Russ Denney PANTORIUM CLEANERS & TAILORS i Who are they and why are they trying to control your life?
