Tension mounts for the Narrowsburg Beautification Group (NBG) as it goes into the homestretch for this season’s final competition. The Sullivan Renaissance judges will be here on Saturday morning to view the 2016 projects, which include improvement of three gateways: the fork at state routes 52 and 97, Kirk Road, and the underpass on south Main Street. An extra project was that of the park on the Flats. As a result of the work of the Multi-Generational Park committee, ornamental grasses were planted on either side of the playground area to prevent small children from darting into the street. All this has been done, plus maintaining former NBG projects. Speaking of former projects, have you been to Tusten Veterans Park lately? Looks fabulous.

This year the projects seemed especially difficult. We will soon see what the judges think about our accomplishments, as awards will be announced on Monday, August 8. Main Street looks lovely and the post office boasts of plenty of color. As one walks into the post office, comments may often be overheard about how beautiful the flowers are this year. Star Hesse deserves all the credit for this fine work. I think weeds are now afraid to grow in that bed. Whether the NBG wins a prize or not, we are all winners, having such a beautiful Main Street enjoyed by us, residents in surrounding communities, and newcomers visiting us for the first time. Good luck, Narrowsburg Beautification Group.

Reminder: This Saturday is the first Saturday of the month, which means a visit to Katie’s Café should be on your list of things to do. Katie’s Café is the monthly free fellowship lunch prepared by members of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church. The menu changes each month and always proves to be delicious. Come down to St. Paul’s between 12 noon and 1 p.m.; meet your neighbors and enjoy lunch.
