Festival Will Add to Seventh Street Festivities

Because inclement weather forced the cancellation of this year’s popular Belmont Festival on Seventh Street, the Garden City Chamber of Commerce wants to make it up to disappointed residents.

The Village of Garden City is modifying the printed form of residents’ water bills, permanently printing the schedule on the form.

Arnold Finamore of Tanners Pond Road, who has commented in the past about his desire to receive a more explicit bill, was pleased to hear of the coming changes.
