MAIDSTONE — Thank you to Maidstone Communities in Bloom committee members — Gill Churn, Joanne Kissick, Lisa McMillan and Jackie Wright — for once again arranging an awesome array of flowers around town this summer. They in turn would like to thank those who adopted a planter, providing the plants as well as planting them — Noelle Coulthard, Connie Winterhalt, Dean and Joyce Grosenick, Lisa Gerlinsky, Sandra Hintz, Janice McConnell, Darlene Robb and Raewyn Fritz. You all provided so much beauty for us to enjoy.
