Update to Apple Blossom Festival

Hello Fellow Gardeners!
We had an excellent Apple Blossom Festival sale. We made $175 in sales (yeah!!). W

e have only sold six raffle tickets, to two people. I know the raffle was set up later so I want to open it up to members if anyone planned on getting tickets and didn't get a chance.
The prizes are -- Grand Prize - 1/2 hour rototilling;
1st prize - 1 year membership with Garden Club
2nd prize is a very cute gardening mug with little gardening tools.
Tickets are 1 ticket for $2 or 3 tickets for $5. Let me know by Tuesday (we can settle up money-wise later) and I'll be picking names on Tuesday evening.

We had a lot of great help.
John offered up and set up the tent which definitely came in handy during the torrential downpour. He also provided the sandwich board so passerbys could see our information.

Plants were donated by Penny, Carol, Kris and Ed, Tim, Scott, John, Shirley and Eric and then, of course, we received another truckload from the Sodus Garden Club. I can't even begin to discuss what we had because there was so many awesome plants this year!

A big thanks to those who were able to stay and sell plants. I know how difficult it is especially for those who are on multiple committees or were hanging out with the kids/grandkids. Shirley, Scott and definitely Penny were a huge help in selling and talking to prospective garden club members :).

Finally, I have to thank Eric for all the driving and picking up (and loading and unloading) on Saturday.

It was really great to see how everyone's contribution to the sale made it such a big success - thank you for your time and energy!
Happy Gardening!-Subrata
