Successful plant sale

Dear Editor:

The Library Plant Sale and Silent Auction on Memorial Day weekend was a huge success and we could not have done it without the support of our community.

A great big thank you is in order to all the businesses and individuals who gave items to the silent auction. This year we had a number of diverse donations that made the silent auction one of our best.

A sincere thank you as well to all those fabulous gardeners who took the time in an erratic weather season to dig and divide their beautiful plants, pot them up and label them for the sale. Without their hard work there wouldn't be such a successful plant sale.

And thank you to all the volunteers; those who priced plants, set up for the sale, helped people at the sale determine what plant was good for their garden, silent auction monitors, cashiers, and those who helped clean up. Thank you also to the Higgins family whose children played lovely fiddle music at the sale.

Without all this effort on the part of so many this event would not happen. We are so appreciative to all who participated in one capacity or another.
