The Middle Lake Hotel was quite the popular spot Tuesday as people gathered to repaint it.

The event, titled "Bring Your Own Brush", is in anticipation of Communities in Bloom Judges coming to evaluate the village.

Volunteer Lorraine Forster tells what this event is.

"Bring Your Own  Brush is an event that we decided to work on for our Communities in Bloom kick off project. It's Bring Your Own Brush to the Middle Lake Hotel, getting the community together to help new hotel owners, Francis and Nicole, get a fresh look at our downtown hotel in Middle Lake."

Lorraine goes on to explain why they put on the event.

"It's just a fun project and a way to bring people together. This hotel has undergone amazing internal renovations, it's beautiful and they have a fantastic menu. It's really worth checking out and until they have enough time to get the outside looking as good as the inside we thought we'd give it a little fresh coat of paint and have a little fun in the process."

Communities in Bloom is sending out two judges to evaluate the village on August 1 and 2. The Village is hoping to beat their previous record of 3/5 Blooms.
