Trough Workshop and Picnic
On Sunday, September 19, eleven hardy members drove out to Fall Creek to join me making troughs for our plant sale. We also decided to try something new and have our annual end-of-summer picnic at the same time. Despite a few showers, we had a good time and got a lot of work done. Most everyone made a couple of troughs, one to keep and one for the chapter. We’ll have a good selection of troughs to sell next year including a few left over from this year’s sale. We’ll need people to “adopt” and plant some of these, and we’ll sell a few empty ones as well.
Thanks to all who made the drive out to the country to help out. It was great to catch up with members after we’ve all gone off to do our own things this summer. I think combining the picnic with the workshop worked well. Maybe we’ll do it again in the future.
