Scouts to repair candy cane decorations

HART — The Hart Boy Scout Troop #1155 and the local Cub Scout Troop are slated to camp at the Hart Historic District next weekend, beginning Aug. 8, to paint and repair the candy cane decorations used in Hart during the holidays.

The Candy Cane Maintenance Project is the boy scout troop’s community service project. They are working with the Silver Lake Sand Dunes Area Chamber of Commerce to maintain the decorations.  The ultimate goal over the next few years is to have 200 or more candy canes on display in Hart, with more to share with businesses in Mears and Silver Lake.
