Ignorning rain, volunteers help Rotarians plant 5000 tulip bulbs in downtown park
LACONIA — Some two dozen volunteers showed up despite a steady drizzle Saturday morning to lend a helping hand to a Laconia Rotary Club downtown beautification project in Stewart Park.
By late morning the willing workers, not afraid of getting their hands dirty for a good cause, had planted 5,000 tulip bulbs which will provide a spectacular spring display for the city’s downtown area for years to come.
"I like the fact that the tulips will be here for years to come,’’ said Emily Gray, 12, who volunteered along with her friend, Julia Jones, also 12, who was there with her mother, Jeanne Jones.
"I think it’s nice that we’re helping the town plant these bulbs. It’s really going to be beautiful,’’ said Julia, who said that she was excited about the project after her mother had told her about it after reading about in The Laconia Daily Sun.
Another volunteer who had found out about the project through the newspaper was Gretchen Shortway, a former restaurant owner who made history in the 1990s when she became the first woman to take classes at a famous French cooking school in Paris, who brought along some goodies she had baked to help feed the workers.
