Free Roses Offered

A Fort Frances florist is hoping to spread a little goodwill and friendship through the borderland.

Fort Floral will be giving away a dozen roses to every person that visits the store next Wednesday.

Owner Brad Hogan says part of FTD's Good Neighbour Day.

"It's something FTD, one of the wire services, first promoted about fifteen years ago," says Hogan, "and its just to promote friendliness in the community."

Hogan says patrons will be encouraged to spread the roses around as a mean of meeting new people or renewing old friendships.
