400 Daffodils will be planted tomorrow, Saturday November 14th at 10 AM at TPA Park near the main Shelter and you are invited to join the fun.
Soon, thanks to the Frankfort Lions Club, Frankfort Optimist Club, Frankfort Rotary Club, and other community-minded groups and individuals, TPA Park will have another 400 Daffodils.
Daffodils bloom year after year and are one of the most beautiful harbingers of spring. Some would even say Daffodils bloom in “late winter.”

A Poem first published in 1807 and revised by William Wordsworth in 1815
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
