Dogwoods Bloom for Festival; Schedule of Events

Town Tree Warden's Prediction Was Right

Town Tree Warden Ken Placko sure knows his trees.

Placko predicted Friday afternoon that dogwood trees in the town's Greenfield Hill neighborhood would be in bloom for the 76th annual Dogwood Festival, which starts Friday, and, sure enough, the pretty pink and white petals have made their appearance. At the time Placko made his prediction, only one tree near Greenfield Hill Congregational Church seemed to have petals.

The Dogwood Festival runs from Friday through Sunday, and admission is free. Here is a schedule of vendors and events:
