Fun time at the October meeting

Seven of us gathered for the October meeting (watch for meeting minutes). Since our planned hosting of members from Pine City Garden Clubs did not work out and we were only 7 in number we decided to have the meeting at the food table!! Janet, thanks so much for the goodies.

After the business part of the meeting, at which we did a survey for the Chamber's new Grantsburg revitalization initiative, we played a gardening trivia game. Pay attention at those presentations because many of the questions came right from what we've learned from speakers and workshops. For instance, what are three of the 5 Bs of creating fall and winter interest in the garden. Sue got this one correct for 3 points with birds, branches and bark. The other two are berries and benches.

The winner got the door prize. After three rounds Janet and Tim were neck in neck. Two rounds later Tim pulled out in front naming two reasons why a gardener might want to test soil for 6 points. He gave his prize to Becky as he could not fit the feminine light blue clutch wallet into his shirt pocket and was afraid of sitting on it if he put it in his back pocket. Congrats Becky on Tim's win!!

We missed everyone who could not attend. Nori, Carrie and Rosemary we hope you are on the mend and will be at meetings again soon.

Oh and Rick was nominated for VP and was the incorrect answer to about three of the trivia questions. That's what happens when you skip garden club!
