[College Hill Topeka] Lifting Spirits in College Hill

[Erin Snethen]

Hello neighbors! So many creative ideas in College Hill. Thank you for uplifting your neighbors spirits during this time. The first winner is the Stampers at 1626 Jewell for Joke of the Day, dog treats and sunny banner off their back fence. They will receive a gift card from a local business. 

Keep the creativity going. We'll continue to post images and choose winners the month of April. If you have any images, please send them to president at collegehilltopeka.org or post images to Facebook.

See the images we have so far…….

Hello, Good Neighbors!

In the midst of this quarantine, many of us may be experiencing the strain of social distancing and our lack of social interaction with friends and neighbors.

To brighten our spirits and the spirits of passersby, we encourage you to decorate your houses.  You may choose to use bright colors, fabrics, lights - anything that creates a sense of whimsy and playfulness. Decorate your windows, porches, your fence and any other part of your house.

Get the entire family involved. Create artwork with your kids using simple household items, art supplies and decor.  It’s amazing what we can find if we just look for ways to repurpose. Please, no leaving the house to purchase items. Be creative!

Send us your images at president at collegehilltopeka.org <mailto:president at collegehilltopeka.org> <mailto:president at collegehilltopeka.org <mailto:president at collegehilltopeka.org>> or post your image to the College Hill Facebook page <https://www.facebook.com/CollegeHillTopekaNeighborhood/ <https://www.facebook.com/CollegeHillTopekaNeighborhood/>>.

We want to support our local, neighborhood businesses as much as we can at this time. So winners will receive a gift card to a local restaurant or retail shop. We will choose winners every Saturday, starting this Saturday, March 28.

If you have ideas, let’s brainstorm together. Add your ideas and thoughts to our Facebook page to give your fellow neighbors inspiration.

College Hill will continue to be a place of warmth and love. Let’s keep that spirit even during a time of hardship. Thank you neighbors!
