82nd Avenue Business Association
By Nancy Chapin
We still have roses available for more rose gardens and the bushes are getting tired of waiting for new homes. Please let us know if a business or location on 82nd Ave. may have room for three, or up to nine, beautiful rose bushes.
The Around the World in 82 Dishes planning team is at work now getting ready for this mid-fall event. If your restaurant or cart wants to be involved let us know!
