Volunteers Needed to Take Down Snowflakes

Forget Punxsutawney Phil.

The real predictors of the end of winter in Doylestown are the volunteers from the Doylestown Business and Community Alliance. When the winter snowflake decorations come down, you know that spring is right around the corner.

But those snowflakes didn't hang themselves and they won't come down by themselves, either.

The DBCA is looking for volunteers to help take down the decorations on Saturday, Feb. 25. If you can help, meet at State and Main, in front of the downtown Starbucks, at 9 a.m.

The easiest way to take down the snowflakes, according to the DBCA, is with an electric drill with a 8mm socket with extension. An electric screwdriver or flat head screwdriver also will work. Volunteers should bring either tool with them on Saturday.

Volunteers also will need a 6 foot ladder, though extra ladders will be on hand if needed.
 
The DBCA also is looking for a crew of six people to help back at the borough yard on Harvey Avenue to put the snowflakes into the group's storage trailer.
 
Coffee and donuts will be provided for volunteers.
 
If you can help out, or lend a ladder or electric drill, call or email the DBCA office at (215) 340-9988 or info@doylestownalliance.org.
