Post-Holiday Shopping Deals, Colorful Emails and Beautifying Storefronts

Beautify Pelville, Win Prizes

If you live or work in Pelville, here’s your chance to beautify your neighborhood and also win some pretty snazzy prizes. The first annual “Pelville in Bloom Contest,”(brought to you by the Pelville Association and New York State Senator Jeffrey D. Klein), kicks off today.

Here’s how the contest works: If you live or work Fifth Avenue (between Pelham Train Station and Chester Park) or on Lincoln Avenue (within the Pelville district), hang something floral (think: baskets, flower containers, plants or shrubs) in front of your house or office. To focus your arrangement, consider which category (Best Bloomin’ Container, Best Bloomin’ Hanging Basket, Best Bloomin’ Business, Best Bloomin’ Bar, Restaurant, Deli or Pizzeria, Best Bloomin’ Garden or Green Space), you’re aiming to win. Just don’t forget to submit your registration form to Pelham Realty (103 Fifth Ave.) by June 14.

Shop for Relay for Life

Relay for Life isn’t here just yet, but your chance to support the cause has already arrived. Shop at Five Below (located inside the Pelham Manor Shopping Center) through June 4 and 10 percent of every purchase will be donated to the event that raises money for the American Cancer Society.
