FALL <strong>2022</strong> | 43<br />
Cullen said the flowers in the trough were<br />
flourishing and decorations had been added<br />
for the Fourth of July. She and Schelzi<br />
were disappointed when they got word<br />
on July 3 that the trough needed to be<br />
emptied by July 5 in order to be readied<br />
for repairs.<br />
"We thought it would be just a couple<br />
of weeks and am still sad that the trough<br />
had to remain flowerless, but like many<br />
things post-pandemic, products needed<br />
for the repair have taken longer than<br />
expected," Cullen said. "Carol and I<br />
enjoy adding color and beauty to the<br />
trough and are surprised by how many<br />
people and motorists passing by call out<br />
to us and thank us. We missed the prime<br />
time, we still miss all the people and<br />
motorists passing by who called out to<br />
us and thanked us. But right now, we are<br />
confident that we will be adding back the<br />
beauty the trough represents very soon<br />
and we are hoping to get the okay soon so<br />
we can start prepping with fall plantings<br />
and, once again, help to beautify the Town<br />
Common.” 40<br />
