I Southport 2000 report
Waterfront facelift
planned this week
INCREDIBLE BUYS!
By Joanne Wesson
Executive Director
Southport 2000, Inc.
Take a good look at the waterfront
this week because next week it will
have a fresh new look.
This weekend the appearance
committee is sponsoring an im
provement project to paint the pump
station at the end of Lord Street
Light gray paint will cover the red
bricks. The lighter color will tie the
structure in with the existing houses
along Bay and Lord streets. So grab
a paint brush and meet at the build
ing around 9 a.m. on Saturday.
While activity is concentrated at
the waterfront we want to finish our
project at Bay and Howe streets that
was put on hold because of hot
weather. Earlier work involved in
stalling decking under the swings
and benches. Now we need to
landscape around the decking and
plant some evergreen in the brick
planter. We will be working on this
project also and invite you to come
out Saturday and bring a hoe and
trowel.
The following weekend is the
Robert Ruark Festival and we want
our fresh new look in place for all
our visitors. Christmas-by-the-Sea
kicks off the next weekend and
ushering in the Christmas season
will be Holiday House, a tradition of
some 20-plus years. And later that
evening the flotilla passes by for
review. Each weekend in December
is filled with fun and entertainment
as the 200th Christmas Committee
sponsored by Southport 2000 con
tinues the special Bicentennial
celebration. The weekend of De
cember 12 is the candlelight tour of
homes in the historic district and
December 19 is children’s day. Spe
cial activities will take place at the
"Christmas Comer” at Bay and
Howe streets.
This is our last chance before the
holidays to spruce up our
downtown. See you Saturday!
