If you take a drive around the island, you may notice various hand-painted poles. Once upon a time, the Greater Pine Island Chamber made it its mission to round up contributing artists for the island beautification project.
Although some time has gone by, according to Chamber board member Cynthia Welch, Bonnie Trout is very interested in continuing the project.
