Lorain to Plant 8000 Roses for City Beautification
Downtown merchants organize Rose Day on April 8 to back a plan by the Greater Lorain Chamber of Commerce Women’s Division to plant 8000 rose bushes in parks. Events include a boat show, folk singing, puppet shows, and children’s displays with streets closed between Fourth and Sixth Streets. Free roses will be given to registrants as doors to fundraising open for a $10,000 goal, with 4000 bushes ordered and Oakwood Park a starting site. Landscape architect George Stolar volunteers to design the rose gardens at no cost.
