Hello Once More My Dear Gardening Friends,

Just another week until it is time for our annual Antique and Flower Show, Held in the Lakefield-Smith Community Centre (the hockey arena) Wednesday August 13th 11:00 am – 8:00 pm and Thursday August 14th 10:00 am—5:00 pm. This is our 30th Year, come and help us celebrate, the admission is only $4.00 children 12 and under are free when accompanied by an adult, or is it the other way around?

For more information you can call me or Norma Walker at 705-877-1082

There will be a wonderful plant sale, with plants from our own member’s gardens so you know that they will grow in zones 4 and 5. I must mention the beautiful Floral Exhibits, also the work of our members. Come and see what you can grow in your garden.

Although we gardeners are tired of all the rain, we are hoping that it will rain on one of the days of our show, cottagers looking for something other than swimming and water fun or playing endless board (bored) games will come flocking to the show!!!!!

Just a note about the rainiest day in U.S. history On July 25th 1979, it rained for 24 hours for a record of 43 inches in Alvin Texas, I do not know how this stacks up against the rain in New Orleans a couple of years ago!!!!
