New Poly Tank Is On The Job!
With a sincere Thank You to our generous donors,
Pennies from Heaven Foundation and the Peggy Aase Womack Memorial fund,
the Ludington Petunia Parade board purchased
this poly tank that replaced our steel tank.
​
The new bigger tank and pump system is presently watering our 30,000 plus petunias. Thank you to the master mind and engineer Ted Radtke for this new design and to
Ian Radtke for implementing his dad's plan.
​
To all our Donors who continue contributing to this beautification project, THANK YOU!
