The Town Center Arbor Day celebration, held on Saturday the 18th Central Avenue in Palm Coast, was a success by any way you square it. The event, held to bring the community together and promote the planting of trees, brought together a variety of vendors and entertainers to spread a little joy on a hot Saturday morning.

This year was Palm Coast’s 16th annual celebration, taking place from 9:00 that morning until 2:00 in the afternoon. Admission was free and food and refreshments were offered all around.

Below is a collection of photos from the event, taken by Stephen Helfrich.

    So glad to see that organizers are holding their events and for the most part people that attend are enjoying the event without being forced to wear a stupid mask. Glad things seem to be getting back to normal and people are not living in fear.
