Downtown Colfax’s hanging flower baskets are up on Howard Street!*

Reed's Greenhouse, LLC did an amazing job raising the baskets this spring for us. We’d like to also thank our volunteers who put the project together and will be watering the baskets throughout the summer!

Also, we had several businesses, families, and individuals who sponsored this project this year. We have thank you posters in the windows at Colfax City Hall and Sheepgate Coffee. Thank you so much for your contribution!

*Due to sidewalk and street construction on Walnut Street/Hwy 117, the Iowa DOT asked us to not put baskets out on Walnut Street or at the intersections this summer.
