Palmer is a Purple Heart Town and we are grateful to those sponsors who support our efforts in this endeavor, particularly the Sons of Amvets and Tailgate Tavern. Banners and flags will be in place for Memorial Day, as well as planting of purple flowers at Depot Park (after frost concerns).

Additionally, if you are a Veteran or family member of a Veteran, the American Legion has a buy a brick program for your participation in their walkway on Thorndike Street (former site of the American Legion).

What an awesome day!

Thank you Tailgate Tavern ….The Burke Family, Michele Casey, all helpers and cooks who made today’s Soup Off a huge success.

Additionally, I would be remiss to leave out all those who came out today to support the event. It was the largest fundraiser we have had to date … Thank you, all! You have opened your hearts with generosity toward our cause, while making Palmer a better place to live.

Lastly ….. It was a great way to get together with friends after a snow storm and before the next. For those of you keeping our roads clear, be safe!

Thank you, Palmer Restaurant, for recognizing our efforts to improve Depot Park with flowers through drawings on your Kids Menu. The drawings depict the view from their window (credit to artist, James Lynch of Monson). Additionally, we understand that patrons, especially those with children, often wait at the park for seating.

We welcome Julia, the restaurant’s new owner, and wish her much success in keeping Palmer’s business district alive.

Note: The Palmer Parks Department and DPW have also been instrumental in helping with LUP’s improvement efforts not only now but also throughout the holidays. They are a wonderful crew and much appreciated. We look forward to potentially working with the Town next spring to expand the flower display and to brighten Main Street.
