HIGHTSTOWN: Hanging baskets spring to life

Hightstown is in full bloom as 146 baskets full of petunias were hung on lamp posts and walkways throughout downtown this week. Mounting began Monday, and they were on full display Thursday. Gary Grubb of the Greater Hightstown-East Windsor Improvement Project said the flowers are funded entirely by donations, to the amount of about $6,100. Despite initial fundraising concerns that he expressed last week, Mr. Grubb said Wednesday that he anticipated collecting enough money to cover the cost. (Photo by Doug Carman)
