COLDWATER ROCKS!!


Coldwater Resident, Marge Harris was visiting family in Lakeland, Florida when her granddaughter found a rock wedged on the outside of a store window.  She explained about how people paint and hide them.  

Marge brought the idea back to her Triangle Life Study Club as a community project.  The rule is to make people happy... so you paint a picture or word that will make them feel good.  They hide the rocks and when a person finds it they either keep or hide it.  In order to spread the joy, Marge asks that if you find a rock, take a picture of where you found it and post on their Facebook page, "Coldwater Rocks".   Her grandchildren can't wait to start painting rocks!!
