The West End Improvement Group holds annual Basket Party

The West End Improvement Group held their annual basket party on Sunday.

The event included a light lunch and several baskets for people to win.

The proceeds from the event go towards the group’s many projects such as the installation of security camera, the 100+ flower boxes that they plant in the summertime, community gardens and events as well as other beautification projects.

Organizers highlight that these initiatives help improve all of Johnstown and not just their neighborhood.

“It’s not just for the West End," said Rose Howarth, the Vice President for the West End Improvement Group. "When one neighborhood does well, it makes all of Johnstown and all of the other neighborhoods do good as well. It’s like a wheel and a spoke, it’s just a little section of that wheel. So, it helps the whole center of Johnstown.”
