Annual Plant Sale

May 9 found us gathered at the Sands Ring Homestead to prepare for our annual plant sale the next day.  This year we stored our Friday plant deliveries in a tent and on the porches of the Homestead, because of concerns regarding the structural safety of the building.  Fortunately we were able to use the kitchen, bathroom, office and the general store areas. 

The weather was threatening on the morning of the sale, but the rains held off until the afternoon; and we were able to get everything cleaned up before the downpour came.  Even with the marginal weather, we had a good community turnout and met our financial goals.  Club members and guests met that evening at Beverly Abraham’s house for a celebratory pizza party.  Thanks to all for a successful 2013 Plant Sale.
