Trees Are Ungirdled

Thanks again to Michael Townley, Signal Bureau, John Louise and anyone else who helped get the banner cables removed from trees at Park & Sixth. We hope the trees will heal in time.

Across the street, the cables seem to be cut but still embedded in the trunk.

The current banner at this high-traffic spot advertises the Fourth of July celebration. This year, fireworks will begin at 9:30 p.m. July 2 in Cedar Brook Park. The parade will begin at 10 a.m. on July 3. The route is along East Front street to the Park-Madison plaza.
