Each   year, Alderson   Main   Street   coordinates   the   presence   and   care   of   the   beautiful   dragon   wing   begonia flower   baskets   which   hang   on   the   lamp   posts   in   Alderson.      Judy   Lewallen   orders   them   in   January   from Blue   Ridge   Farms;   they   were   hung   this   year   with   help   from   Zack   Burns   and   Hoss   Riggs;   and   they   are watered throughout the summer by Ross Copenhaver.  The   2020   flower   baskets   were   sponsored   by   Sarah   Hensler   in   memory   of   Jean   Gwinn;   Alice   Riffle   in memory   of   Tammy   Smith   Skaggs;   an   anonymous   donor   in   memory   of   Layla;   Christ   our   Savior   Lutheran Church;   Roy   and   Linda   Loudermilk;   Jeremy   Bennett   in   memory   of   his   grandmother,   Mary   Martha   Bennett; Tom   and   Linda   Dameron;   Susan   and   Roger   Bowyer;   Doris   Griffith;   Marcy   McNeel   Baker   in   memory   of   Bill McNeel,   Class   of   ’36;   Donna   Simms      for   Sassy   Sissors;   Johnson   Memorial   United   Methodist   Church   in memory   of   Doreen   Eskins;   Richard   and   Marjorie   Witcher   in   memory   of   Waukee   Sweetwood;   and   Vivian Shepherd, Sally Mueller, and Ernest Bryant in memory of Mary E. Harnest, their mother.  Those   contributing   to   extra   expenses   associated   with   the   flower   baskets   include   Rich   and   Judy   Lohmeyer and Margaret and David Hambrick.  AMS   President   Judy   Lohmeyer   said,   “The   red   begonias   and   the   flags   on   the   lamp   posts   make   a   beautiful statement about our town.  Thanks to everyone who helps support this project!” (Click photo for larger view)
