If you travel through downtown Greenville on your way to school or work, it's possible that you have noticed the new spring street banners that are gracing the poles along Broadway. Not only do they shout "SPRING" they also exude creativity. It is my understanding that the newest banners were designed by art students at the Greenville Jr. High. What a wise use of our local resources, and at the same time encouraging and cultivating these young artists. I can't imagine the sense of accomplishment to see your own artwork displayed on the streets of your hometown. Kudos to these kids for getting involved in their communities endeavors, and hats off to Main Street Greenville for inspiring their creativity.
If you haven't noticed the new banners, well, what are you waiting for? It's time to put on your walking shoes, grab a cup of coffee or a smoothie and take a stroll on Broadway. The banners bring a lot of color and unity to the city streets and pull together the entire downtown area. They set the stage for all of the excitement that spring and summer are about to bring to our downtown area. May starts Historic Preservation Month. While you are getting your feet on the street to check out the banners, check out Main Street Greenville's Preservation Activities as well. Bring the family downtown and enjoy some art, some history and some culture. Who knows, some day it just might be your son or daughter's artwork gracing the downtown poles.
A generous "Thank You" to our Spring Banner Sponsors:
Susie Riegle, Wayne Hospital, Brethren Retirement Community, Law Office of Jason Aslinger, Rogers Deli Mart, Second National Bank
