Lisa brought the stand for her barn quilt but it got commandeered for our sign before she could get back with the barn quilt, sorry Lisa!! We did have both the barn quilt and a great American flag on a shipping palate. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of the booth with the barn quilt or the palate flag.
Linnea provided pumpkins and squash for decorating as well as succulents to display and give away.
Georgianne provided the beautiful new canopy! Our garden club plant sale sign worked great folded so the "plant sale" portion could not be seen. The Grantsburg Chamber of Commerce provided the cornstalk decorations.
We displayed blown up photos throughout the booth of all the fun things we have done in the club. We also displayed examples of some of our workshop products as well as other fun things club members have made to enhance their gardens and yards. Thanks to all the members who provided display materials.
Lucille came by to visit and helped us pass the time. Lots of other members came by to see us as well. This great photo of Georgianne and Lucille is borrowed from the Grantsburg Chamber of Commerce FB page.
We spoke with many potential members and handed out brochures. We also made a few contacts for possible programs: Tom Bell who is new to vermiculture was willing to come and talk at one of our meetings about using worms to create compost. Also, Valerie Vollendorf of Vintage Meadows, specializing in antique flowers and heirloom vegetable seeds came by. We thought she would make a great presenter for the garden club!! Let's add these two to our list for 2016!
Thank you to Georgianne for all her hard work putting together the 2015 Grantoberfest booth for our club!! And to me, Pam, her trusty sidekick!
Our first Grantoberfest booth indoors in 2013!
