The Garden Club had a fund raiser on Saturday at the Court House on Trades Day. I was happy to buy the remaining Aloe Vera plants on sale and a lovely little succulent which will be perfect for the porch.
The day was windy but many people turned out to see and hear the Blue Grass Band perform. It was close by Mt Moriah Masonic Lodge who were having a fundraiser for ‘Quilts For Kids' by selling their excellent BBQ sandwiches.
