Communities in Bloom countdown

• Judges to tour Pincher Creek on July 24

Communities in Bloom National judges Ted Zarudny and Lorna McIlroy will be touring 80% of the Pincher Creek community on July 24. Pincher Creek is entered in the Circle of Excellence Category this year. Pincher Creek was a 2009 National Winner in our population category and has remained involved at the National level since that time.


The Communities in Bloom committee asks that you put the finishing touches on our yards, properties and streets. Stand back and take a look for the little things that could make a big difference.

Check for:

• overall tidiness for garbage etc.
• tall grass along edge of curb, around trees, power poles 
• weeds growing in sidewalk cracks and along buildings
• broken or dead branches on front yard trees
• tall grass, weeds or litter in the back alley.

Keep in mind that judges look for tidiness, landscaping, turf condition, heritage, trees, floral, environmental effort and community involvement.

Overall the Town is looking wonderful. Thanks to all the Pincher Planters, volunteers and citizens that have worked so hard to beautify and improve our Town.

If you have an hour or two to spare this week there are a number of small projects like trimming, weeding and edging that could really make a difference in our public areas.  ""It's a little bit of polish that puts the icing on the cake," said Director of the Town of Pincher Creek Recreation Department Diane Burt-Stuckey.

Call 403-627-4322 if you can help out the volunteers.
