We are pleased to report that the 2026 Annual Horticulture and Craft Show was, once again, a very successful and enjoyable show, and the weather was extremely kind to us.
The Committee would like to thank all those who supported the show and especially all our wonderful volunteers! Without you, the show simply couldn’t happen.
