(April 20, 2017) The Berlin Mayor and Council passed a proclamation designating the week of April 22-29 as the fourth annual Take Pride in Berlin Week.
There are two new activities added to this year’s event: a photo contest and Take Pride in Berlin Week business specials.
From April 22-29, post a photo to the Take Pride in Berlin Week Facebook page or Instagram using the hash tag “betterinberlin.” Only one photo per person may be entered.
Photos must be taken in Berlin and must show one of the following: helping a neighbor, beautifying your neighborhood, picking up trash, cleaning up Main Street, planting flowers, wearing something that says “Berlin” on it, or volunteering.
Photos will be entered to win a drawing for a basket filled with items related to the “Better in Berlin” theme.
Also new this year, many Berlin merchants and restaurants are showing their Berlin pride by offering specials to anyone sporting the official “I Have Berlin Pride” wristband. The wristbands will be given to everyone who registers at Stephen Decatur or Henry Park or Berlin Falls on Clean-Up Day on April 22, starting at 8:30 a.m., and will be available throughout the week at Town Hall and the Berlin Visitor’s Center.
The week kicks off with the annual Clean-Up Day – a decades old tradition of community spring-cleaning that centers on Stephen Decatur and William Henry parks. Throughout the week residents and business owners are encouraged to show pride in being a part of the Berlin community in any way that has meaning to them.
