The Rainy River Future Development Corporation (RRFDC) is seeking donors for Project Petunia.
Project Petunia is an initiative to beautify Fort Frances in the spring and summer months by hanging baskets of petunias along Kings Highway.
Baskets can be purchased by individuals, businesses, or community groups and can be sponsored in memory of loved ones. Sponsors will be recognized with an ad in the Fort Frances Times when baskets are hung in mid-May.
The RRFDC has facilitated the beautification project since 2016.
Project Petunia is made possible thanks to sponsors from across Fort Frances and the Rainy River District.
“This project really enhances the beauty of our town. Tourists driving into Fort Frances from the west frequently comment on what a nice touch the petunia baskets are on Kings Highway,” said Tannis Drysdale.
Petunia baskets can be sponsored for $50 per basket. Interested sponsors may contact Tannis Drysdale at the RRFDC at 274-9621.
Donations can be made by cheque or cash, or online at http://www.rrfdc.on.ca/project-petunia.
