The five Welcome to Clinton signs at the entrances to the city were spruced up this week just in time for the Apple n Pork Festival. Beautiful fall mums from Mariah's Mums were planted by Sheryl Hodges, Mayor Helen, Jessica Allhands with J Squared Aquatics and Edith Brady-Lunny (not pictured.) The new planters will be decorated seasonally by volunteers to add some color to visitors to our community.
