Harris Riverfront Park Ablaze with "Tulips by HARC"

Efforts of the Huntington Area Revitalization Coalition (HARC) are not going unnoticed by citizens and city visitors who have recently visited Harris River Front Park. Here is one email shared with us by Gene Howell, President of HARC, and his wife Robin. (The email has has been edited by us.)

"Wow! I drove through Harris Riverfront Park and saw the tulips. Wow! I work at WOWK-TV as a director and am very active in our Highlawn Neighborhood Associate. Your efforts have caught my attention. I just wanted to say thank you ... really thank you ... for caring and actually doing something. These things do not go unnoticed. I LOVE the idea of beautifying the Veterans Memorial Blvd. downtown. Is it too late to donate a rose? And will you need help planting them? I may be too busy with the street marker restoration project this spring, but if my schedule allows, I would love to help. I think people believe it's the job of others to make their living spaces a better place ... when actually it is everyone's job. Again, thanks for the tulips! "

Sincerely, Chris Shoemaker
