CANTON â This weekâs persistent rain was replaced Friday afternoon by a different shower at the center of the village.
After more than a century at its station on the village green â in varying states of functionality and decay â the Canton fountain is once again flowing. The Canton Park and Fountain Campaign, a fundraising effort that began five years ago, culminated this week in a celebration of the fountainâs revival.
About 150 people gathered in the park, where village Mayor Michael Dalton, town Supervisor Mary Ann Ashley and the campaignâs co-chairs delivered remarks before the pump was turned on.
