Sterling Main Street’s enchanting lamppost flower baskets, a vibrant symbol of community spirit since 2014, face an uncertain future. These colorful annual displays, alongside the raised flower beds on 1st Avenue, require daily care that has become financially taxing. Recent years have seen a decline in donations, putting the beloved blooms at risk of disappearing by 2026 unless sustainable funding is found.
Local businesses and residents are being called upon to support the fundraising efforts. Every contribution can help preserve the cherished beauty of Sterling’s downtown and keep the tradition alive for future generations.
