Flowers on Main Street

First Week of June

It's Spring – Plant your seeds and grow them in Winsted!

Dear Friends,

We are encouraged by the many positive developments happening both on and around Main Street. It's exciting to see all of the new businesses opening, the Town's support with Facade Improvement and New Business Start-Up initiatives, Infrastructure Investment Plans and the growing sense of energy and community pride.

In 2022 Friends of Main Street made more memories with our Earth Day Clean up, Summer Concerts in the Park, Halloween Window Painting, A Winsted Christmas events.  In late September, we partnered with the Winchester Conservation Commission to add the Fall River Cleanup to our roster of regular events.  Our Food, Brew, Fun & Necessities - shops, take out, inside/out dining, salons, recreation & entertainment listings is updated as needed, while promoting daily and weekly Community News.  

As Winchester continues to prosper, we look forward to bringing back an even stronger community spirit. To that end, I am writing to you for two reasons:

1.  This spring Friends of Main Street will once again purchase the hang pots of beautiful flowers on Main Street and will cover the costs to maintain them throughout the summer. Residents and visitors alike enjoy seeing them. Would you please consider making a donation to help us have fresh flowers in our downtown? 
2. We plan to have more events this year and re-launching the beloved Fall Festival - we could use your help in planing and execution.  Consider volunteering​ your time to help us make them a success!  

Please consider making a donation to help us have fresh flowers in our downtown and, think about volunteering​ for future events.  Your support makes a difference in our organization’s future plans.

Thank you very much for your support.

Glorious baskets of flowers start adorning our decoratives poles that line Main Street in the first week of June.
