For years, Appleton has had Marigold Mile along Oneida Street. This year, Menasha is now part of Marigold Mile. I've always wanted to walk Marigold Mile in Appleton so I figured I could also do Menasha.
Marigold Mile started 35 years ago as a charitable organization to beautifying the Fox Cities. They believe everyone should stop and smell the flowers. With the help of the chairman of Marigold Mile, it has expanded from Appleton and now into Menasha.
Downtown Menasha is blooming with orange and yellow Marigold. They are primarily located on Racine and Main streets. It definitely gives the city a pop of color.
While downtown Menasha for the Twisted Piston car show, I took time to appreciate a portion of the Marigold Mile. We drive by them all the time but tonight I took time to stop and smell the flowers. I did not get to walk the entire Marigold Mile this time but I at least got to enjoy some of the beauty.
I love that this organization exists solely for the purpose of providing color to the streets of Appleton and Menasha. It was so relaxing to drive or walk through downtown Menasha and see the beautiful Marigolds. Hopefully it expands to more areas. We can all use a little color in our lives. If you are ever in either city in summer, definitely go check out the Marigolds.
