Downtown Gardner Welcomes Visitors on Small Business Saturday Birthday Celebration
On Saturday, June 22, 2024, Downtown Gardner merchants, vendors, and event participants welcomed visitors to the Chair City in celebration of Gardner’s 239th birthday. The weather held out for hours and people came from miles around. Merchandise was sold by Downtown businesses and outside vendors. Delicious food was eaten. Local non-profits provided valuable information.
The Gardner Community Action Committee held a Peanut Butter Challenge and due to the last minute donation of 130 jars of peanut butter from Fidelity Bank over 333 jars of Peanut Butter were collected. The Gardner CAC stated, “So love our kind and generous community! It truly takes a village and so grateful we all help each other!”
Next Saturday, the celebration continues with Fireworks on Kendall Pond.
