On Saturday, Sept. 14, the weather god smiled on us here at Binleys. The day started with a light cloud cover and ended in glorius fall sun with mild tempertures. We had about 40 vendors offering everything form knit hats and garden accessories to cleverly reused “garage sale items”. We had popcorn vendors, cotton candy sales, maple sugar products and a food truck with all kinds of good eats. For the kids, there was a petting zoo, with a pot-bellied pig, goats, even tiny, baby bunnies, alpacas and pony rides. For the older set, we had about 20 classic and antique autos, chair massages and belly dancers. All this was backed up by a band playing swing, blues and music from “the American Songbook”. All in all, the day had a real festive, carnival feel to it. By the way, did I mention that we featured our fantastic garden mums? I hope you were here, but if not, definitely mark your calender for Saturday September 13, 2014. We’ve marked ours.

Well, that’s about it for this issue, I hope you found it interesting. Until next month, happy gardening.
