Celebrate spring flowers

Cloquet Community Education started a campaign last week called Get the Community Blooming. "April showers bring May flowers," director Ruth Reeves said. "And with those flowers comes May Day, a celebration to mark the beginning of summer." Community Ed is asking people to choose a square of sidewalk on Washington Avenue and use chalk to decorate it with flowers or whatever spring vision one has. "Use your driveway as a canvas, make a yard sign or even decorate your whole yard," Reeves said. She encouraged people to get out and enjoy the creations May 2 and 3 by going for a walk or a drive around town. "Remember to follow any orders from the state about social distancing and travel," she said. "Take a photo of your creative May flowers and share on your Facebook or Instagram," Reeves said. "We hope you join in the fun of creating or enjoying the beautiful May flowers that bloom on sidewalks, windows and yards." Photo by Rick Mackey
