You’ll notice something decidedly different at the 46th annual Sidewalk Sale this Saturday, August 20 in downtown Huntsville. A section of Main Street will be sporting a new green coat – one made of grass.<\/p>\n

<\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n

It’s part of the Green Street Challenge, a partnership between Come Alive Outside, Landscape Ontario and the Downtown Huntsville BIA, which aims to “get people off the couch and living healthy, active lives outside”. Almost 7000 sq. ft. of sod will be laid between West and King Streets.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey provide the sod, we provide the volunteers, and after the event the sod will be donated to Habitat for Humanity,\u201d said Helena Renwick, the BIA’s Executive Director. At least 50 volunteers will be needed to lay the sod in the morning between 7-8:30am and pick it up at the end of the day between 5-6:30pm. Everyone is welcome to show their community spirit – there will be coffee, treats and music, too.<\/p>\n

And what will happen with the sod after the event is over? Habitat for Humanity Ontario Gateway North plans to sell it to local landscapers, nurseries, construction companies, private businesses or DIYers – contact the Huntsville ReStore Manager, Jason Pritchard, at jpritchard@habitatgatewaynorth.com or call 705-788-0305. Any remaining and unclaimed sod will be sold at the Huntsville ReStore at 3 Crescent Road following the Sidewalk Sale.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s one of the more unique and bulky donations we\u2019ve ever received, but we\u2019re happy to have been selected as benefactors. We think it\u2019s an important initiative the Huntsville BIA has spearheaded by promoting kids and adults alike to stay active and enjoy the outdoors. Any money made selling the sod will go directly to the Huntsville build currently underway on Irene Street.
\nDavid Morris, CEO of the regional Habitat affiliate in a release<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Main Street will be closed between Brunel and Centre from 7am to 6:30pm for the Sidewalk Sale. Head downtown to enjoy live music from Douglas McLean, The Fernglen Fiddle Heads and Papa John Witterick, dancing demonstrations from JJ Dance Studio and the Muskoka Dance Academy, and great deals at downtown businesses. The sale runs from 9am to 5pm.<\/p>\n
