Sunflowers will bloom all over town in summer 2005 because of CHARACTER COUNTS! in Villa Park. The Villa Park coalition is inviting all homeowners and businesses to plant sunflower seeds in their gardens, flower beds and other visible locations. Seeds of the brightly colored plants will also go in Village parks and in other public locations like Village Hall, the Prairie Path, Lufkin Pool, and Memorial Park. "As the sunflowers grow tall and bright we will be reminded of the character values; trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship that help our community thrive," said Karen Cooney of the program.
