Chestnut Street residents win block party
Peabody Economic Development Council is pleased to announce the second winner of the neighborhood beautification contest is the 600 block of Chestnut. Congratulations to residents of that block for receiving the most votes.
Winners will be served a barbecue dinner by the Peabody Economic Development Council at 6:30 p.m. July 7. The meal is provided by Peabody State Bank, Peabody Hardware, Peabody Market, Peabody Main Street, and the City of Peabody.
Its not too late for your block to win, according to committee members. There will be two more chances. The next judging will be July 10 to 14 with the barbecue served on Aug. 4. The final round of judging will be done Aug. 7 to 11 and the meal for those winners will be Aug. 31.
"Not only is this an event that recognizes neighborhoods that do their part to beautify Peabody," said economic development board member Dennis Riggs, "it also is a chance for people to get together with their neighbors and perhaps become better acquainted."
