 "My
name is Fern---just like the plant," beamed Fern Durham as her picture was
made at the Maysville Community Improvement Club’s second annual Garden
Party. She and friend Janet Ilcheson, of Piedmont SC, stopped while passing through from Sims Pottery
in Gillsville. "We love flowers and couldn't resist the chance to stop and
look," Ilcheson said.
The Maysville Community Improvement Club held the garden party in Veterans Park downtown to allow local greenhouses
and nurseries a chance to sell their plants. Typical plants for sale
included verbenia, petunias, cacti, herbs and hostas, among others.
The Maysville United Methodist Church sponsored a chicken-que and promptly sold
out of the 200 plates prepared before the lunch hour even arrived. The church
also had a yard sale where each item was only fifty cents.
The Community Club offered hula hoop fun, face painting and marigolds for the
kids and sold refreshments. Musical group "Linger Longers" provided
entertainment.
