Petal Porches

Get into the spring spirit and decorate your porch, yard or balcony for spring and the Cherry Blossom Festival.  Think cherry blossoms, pink, springtime or with an original theme. Petal Porches encourages area residents to decorate a porch, yard, sidewalk, window, or something else visible from the street or sidewalk for a chance to win special cherry blossom prizes. To enter, sign up online by March 16. Be creative with your porch name and when describing your display. Even better, get your neighbors to register to compete for Best Blossom Block! Learn more here.
