Flowers on Main Street

First Week of June
This spring, Friends of Main Street will purchase hanging pots of beautiful flowers for Main Street and will cover the costs of maintaining them throughout the summer. Residents and visitors alike enjoy seeing them brighten Main Street. Please donate to help us retain fresh flowers on our decorative poles downtown!

​Dear Friends,
​
​We are grateful for your support of Friends of Main Street this past year, especially your donations for our hanging flower baskets and this past winter’s Bubble & Truffles fundraiser. We are also excited about all the positive developments on Main Street, including opening new businesses, infrastructure improvements, and a growing sense of pride in the community.

​In 2024, Friends of Main Street organized numerous memorable events, including the Earth Day Cleanup,  Summer Concerts in the Park, the Fall Foliage Festival & Car Show, Fall River Cleanup, Halloween Window Painting, and A Winsted-Winchester Christmas. If you haven’t done so, please subscribe to THE WEEKLY, our e-newsletter highlighting local events.

Later in the year, we also repaired the Town of Winchester's Welcome Sign at the north entrance and introduced a new Winsted Wonderland Window Decorating Contest for downtown businesses, transforming Main Street. We hope you enjoyed the magical Winsted Winter Express train mural and ice sculpture that enriched the festivities.

We hope you enjoyed our first Winsted Restaurant Week, which took place from March 21 to March 29. This event, organized by the Winchester Economic Development Commission, Friends of Main Street, and Litchfield.co, celebrates fantastic local cuisine and marks the beginning of Spring 2025!​

As Winchester thrives, we are excited to foster a stronger sense of community. I am reaching out to you for two important reasons:

  • First, this spring, Friends of Main Street will purchase and maintain hanging flower baskets along Main Street throughout the summer. These flowers will bring joy to both residents and visitors. We kindly ask for your support through donations to keep our downtown looking beautiful.
  • Second, to help enhance the presence of your business in the community, consider being a sponsor in the Fall Foliage Festival & Car Show or becoming a corporate sponsor.

We look forward to your continued support and involvement in our future initiatives!

Wishing you all the best,
