On Saturday, April 16, the Hopewell Borough 125th Anniversary Committee will hold a “cupcake birthday party” in the park at South Greenwood and Columbia avenues. The event, expected to last about 90 minutes, will begin at 3 p.m. It will feature food, music and the planting of a tree by the Advisory Shade Tree Committee in Borough Park.
The committee also plans to give away 125 tree saplings acquired through a state grant as a 125th anniversary giveaway.
According to committee member Jennifer Saltman, “The trees are “1- to 3-foot-high bare root tree seedlings.” The Advisory Shade Tree Committee expects to give out up to five seedlings per household at the cupcake event.
Committee members include Alan Fiel, Herb Ruehle, Mark Shipe, Jane McKinley, Beth Miko, Bev Mills and Roxanne Klett.
