The North End will be a vision of orange with the annual Marigolds on Main event set to go this morning.
It's the 13th year and 40,000 of the plants will be put in the ground by local school kids starting shortly after 9:00. Organizer Barry Ogden tells CHSJ News the program has grown so much that over the new few days 150,000 marigolds will be planted between Sussex to Welsford. More than 2 million marigolds will have been planted over the 13 years.
Ogden says the programme came into beging to create pridge in the community. It has been recognised internationally and is being copied in New York, Germany and Britain. It has also become a popular attraction for the cruise ship passengers.
