Flower Barrel Program
Update provided by Pat Colbert
There are 117 barrels planted In the Downtown Flower Barrel Program. As of Wednesday night, June 51h'
DPW had hot re -Installed Mike McCarthy's memorial fioWer barrel at Fulton's Pond which was` '
vandalized last in DPW Will hopefully're-Install it soon: At this point, KMB'will refrain from planting'
a pansy`plant at that location sirice 'We Will be removing' all the pansies Ina week and replacing them
with the Angel Begonias.'
The pansies still look healthy due to the cool weather conditions and rainfall. This may be the best year
we experienced with the pansies. Normally, the plants look stressed by this time, in the season. We are
scheduled to remove the pansies the week of June 17t6 and plant begonias. Pat Will send the
exact dates for the pansy removal and begonia planting when she returns from vacation, to see who is
available to help with the planting.,A few businesses remain that owe rrloney for their`planfs, Pat Will
collect from therii when we plant the begonias,
Lastly, Janice Wivagg placed the flagss in theflower barrels fgr'Memoriaiay D, The new larger flags '
looked great. Thanks Janicel

Traffic Box Wrap Project
Pat Colbert contacted Karen Reardon about creating design choices for a KMB funded wrap on the
traffic box across the street on Rte.106 from Caanan Fuel. This box was the nearest available to the
downtown area. Martha O'Connell received the required paperwork from Mansfield Mass Cultural
Council that would need to be completed once the KMB Committee approves Karen's design. The KMB
Committee would need to get the design approved by the Select Board as well. Design options have not
yet been received. The wrap must be installed before the cold weather if it is to be completed by2024.
Mansfield Summer Day Camp Presentation
Pat Colbert and Kristy Brooks agreed to do a presentation for the campers at Mansfield Summer Day
Camp on Friday, July 12th at 10:00 AM. Pat will reach out to Neil Rhein for his past presentation notes.
Litter Busters
Upcoming activities:
Phish/Water Wheel foundation Cleanup Day Is scheduled to take place on Saturday, July 20"'1 The
KMB Committee was in favor of supporting the request received to assist the Phish/Water Wheel
Foundation with finding a KMB activity for their selected fans. Danielle Dupre will lead the project and
spoke with the foundation's activity coordinator on June loth. The foundation expects 15-25 volunteers
to participate, and a clean-up event appearedto be the best type of activity suited for the group size.
Ideas for the clean-up location included places that were scenic and shaded, such as one of the local
parks (Fulton'sPond) or bike path, as July days can be hot. KMB has enough clean-up supplies and some
leftover t-shirts to support the event, and Danielle will plan to buy some water and snacks. Event'
parking options at the old Police Station and DPW trash bag pick up logistics will be coordinated. Kelly
Kemp will assist with event promotion and Pat Colbert will support Danielle at the event. A Paint -a -
Barrel activity that could be used as an alternative activity in case of inclement weather was also
Page516
proposed; however, the option may not be possible to implement as logistics would need to be ironed
out in a very short timeframe.
Possible upcoming clean-up activities:'
Teleflex (Erin Lawson) in September/October; Medtronic and Trimark— dates TBD.
Shaw's Reusable Bag Program
No updates. Kelly Kemp,will continue to post future announcements on social media.
