Pave the way to Candy Cane Lane
December 1, 2007 2:00 – 4:00 PM
Corner of Greenlawn and Great Northern

Over 40 years ago, a group of neighbors got together to make Candy Cane Lawn Art for the December holidays. Since then "Candy Cane Lane" has developed into a Allandale tradition. When you notice 4 foot high candy canes leaning toward the street, it is a sure sign of Christmas.  Join us in a celebration of these charming lawn-art pieces that are uniquely Allandale.

Supplies will be on hand to refurbish candy canes and tools will be available for creating a pipe and chain anchor to keep your Candy Cane in place.

Interested in a new Candy Cane? Contact Linnea Anderson for details, 750-8902.

Have an idea for a project that inspires you? None of the beautification events would happen without volunteers. Call Linnea Anderson at 750-8902 to get involved.
