We had a wonderful booth at the Grantoberfest. It was a huge success. The booth was decorated beautifully. We had many visitors who stopped by. We drew names for prizes every one half hour. We should discuss if we want to make this an annual event for the club. If so, we need to form a planning committee for the next Grantoberfest.

Thank you for a great job on the Grantsburg sign!!
A big thank you to Janet, Kris and new member Lisa for the great job cleaning up the Grantsburg sign!! This will really help next spring when we replant the sign.
Kris and Janet suggest that the gardens could use a bit of revamping in the spring. Ideas for what we might do will be added to the November agenda. Becky divided some things this past spring which we sold off at the garden club plant sale. We might keep this in mind when planning what changes we want to make.
Again, thank you to Janet, Kris and Lisa!!

Heads up on November 14 wreath making workshop--what to bring!!
Rosemary Burkman will be conducting a wreath making workshop at our November 14th meeting. We will need to provide the supplies ourselves. The Garden Club will be providing 10 bare wreaths for the Workshop. If you want to do more than one wreath, you will need to provide your own. Walmart has the bare wreaths available.
Rosemary passed out the handouts at the last meeting. Items needed for creating our wreathes are listed on the handout.
If you did not get the handout, here is a link to view it online.
http://www.mommylovescoffee.com/2011/10/diy-halloween-ribbon-wreath-tutorial.html
We should bring hot glue guns, glue sticks, wire cutters, ribbon and whatever else we want to put on our wreaths. Rosemary will demonstrate how to put the wreaths together.
If a few of us have glue guns, and wire cutters we can work in teams and share these (I have a glue gun and a number of wire cutters I will bring). Bring what you can of the tools and we will all share.
Thrift stores are great places to get ribbon. I will bring what I have and am open to sharing.
This should be a fun workshop!!
