Take a Seat for Catonsville Revitalization

Later this month the Greater Catonsville Chamber of Commerce will auction off Adirondack chairs that have been custom-decorated by local artists.

It's part of the chamber's Catonsville Chair Project that begins June 14 and ends Sept. 6, when a silent auction of the chairs will be held, according to a news release.

For bidding instructions, visit the chamber website.

Each chair is sponsored by a business, and money raised goes toward  revitalization projects in the community's commercial district, the release states.

Chairs will first go on display at the first Frederick Road Friday concert June 14 at Mews on Mellor, the release states. They'll be displayed until The Catonsville Arts and Crafts Festival on Sept. 8, when auction winners will be announced.

"An improved commercial district makes Catonsville more attractive to the community; it attracts customers to local merchants, and encourages new higher-end businesses to relocate there," the release states.
