Youth Garden

The Horseshoe Lake Youth Garden Group, sponsored by the Hughes Town & Country Garden Club had their last summer meeting on Aug. 8. They took flowers from their garden at the library and pressed them and put into frames. They also had discussion on butterflies since their last meeting. The zinnias and coneflowers were deadheaded so they can save seeds for planting next year. There are some youths who will meet on Aug. 27 to gather their specimens and fill out tags for the Youth Groups Youth Horticulture entries in the Small-Standard NGC Flower Show.

Bunco

The Year-Round Bunco club hostess for August was Donna Culver. She served, turkey, ham, chicken and pimento cheese sandwiches with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and cheese, cheese dip and hot dip along with cake and fudge pie. High score and most big buncos went to Donna Culver. Low score, there was a roll-off between Kathy Davenport and LaTasha White with LaTasha winning. Travelers went to Jayla White, who was a Sub for Kerrie Facello. A good time was had by all.
