To the editor:

If you want to know what makes Tarrytown America's Prettiest Town as voted by Forbes Magazine, August 2013, take a stroll down Main Street or Broadway and enjoy the geranium planters hanging on the light posts.

In partnership with the Village of Tarrytown, a group of caring people in the community donated money to help purchase the hanging geranium planters in town. This project was spearheaded by a group on Main Street a few years ago and quickly expanded to include Broadway. The response of merchants and residents in the community to purchase these flowers is unique.

A very special thanks to the Sleepy Hollow Tarrytown Chamber of Commerce, the Village of Tarrytown, Jen Ross, Theresa McCarthy, Stacy Belkind, Chris Brazil and Joanne Murray for organizing this project.

JoAnne DeMarco,

Tarrytown
