Hello all, We had a fabulous Strawberry Festival! Thanks to Mystik Miller and the Strawberry Festival Committee. Great work! There are a few photos on Facebook.From what we heard, all the businesses in town got a bump in sales! They can thank Main Street and Mystik and the Strawberry Committee for those extra sales. They can show their appreciation by becoming members of Alderson Main Street if they are not already. Membership form attached in case you can encourage them to join.Now might be a good time to focus on paying for the flower baskets that have just arrived on the lamp posts. They look great! They cost $50 each from the greenhouse and we are grateful to Ross Copenhaver for watering and feeding them throughout the summer. Each year, civic minded souls from Alderson and beyond have sponsored the baskets by donating the cost of one (or more!) to Main Street. We have 5 paid for already but that leaves 10 available for sponsorship. Please make your check to Alderson Main Street and mail it to P.O. Box 117, Alderson, WV 24910. We will publish a list of sponsors on face book and thank you very much.Margaret Hambrick
