4 - The Sparta Ambassador -April 2021
The Sparta Area Chamber of Commerce is seeking support for this year ’ s downtown hanging flower basket program . To enhance the look of the downtown area , the Chamber is making plans to have Sparta Floral and Greenhouses create the beautiful hanging baskets that we have all come to love and enjoy .
In order to accomplish this task , we are again calling on businesses , organizations , and individuals for donations to help with the cost of each basket . Please remember that besides the purchase of the flowers , your sponsorship pays for the baskets to be fertilized and watered regularly . Thirty flower baskets are placed in the downtown which cost about $ 100 each to produce and maintain throughout the summer . Donations in any amount are appreciated . The City of Sparta is very helpful in supporting the flower basket program , but we depend upon donations to cover a majority of the costs .
The Chamber is very grateful for previous donations which have sustained this project in past years . We are also looking for more businesses , organizations , and individuals to participate . Donations may be made in honor of someone , or as a memorial . All donations will be recognized on a sign placed in the downtown Mueller Park and in the Sparta Area Chamber newsletter .
Please make checks payable to the Sparta Area Chamber of Commerce and mail to the Chamber Depot , 111 Milwaukee Street in Sparta .
It is understandable that donations for the 2021 flower basket program are less than in previous years . Please give generously so we can all enjoy this beautiful addition to our downtown .
