where the rivers meet
ABOUT
A series of heartwarming events unfolded to boost tourism post-COVID and before the bridge closing. Youth-led walking tours revealed hidden treasures, while a bridge closing ceremony bid farewell with grace. A community picnic brought everyone together, and a variety show celebrated local talents. The rhythmic beats of a dance night filled the air, and a placemaking workshop added a creative touch to public spaces. An affordable housing talk addressed community needs, and a friendly soup-off crowned a culinary champion. Meanwhile, a summer art camp inspired young minds. This project also led to the unveiling of a new mural in the town square.
