HURLEY - Hurley's Silver Street looks a bit nicer after the area master gardeners and Hurley third graders planted flowers in the planting barrels along the street Wednesday.

In fact, a number of interns with Iron County's University of Wisconsin Extension office are participating in their second Silver Street planting.
"Our summer interns remember doing this (when they were in third grade), so it's become quite a tradition," said Darrin Kimbler, the extension office's horticulturist.
