Sept. showers bring garden clubs and fall
Write a comment
At last, we had some rain. I know a lot of prayers have been answered and we can look for more rain to come soon. September brings fall with it on Sept. 23, and clubs and groups are coming back onto their new schedules.
Coldspring Garden Club heard all about the importance of the soil we use in our planting — what to add to it for best results and how add to the structure of the soil in our gardens to aid growth. James Roberts, helped by his daughter Savanah, gave a very interesting talk and slide show on the subject and invited us out to The Growers Outlet a mile south of Willis at 11173 N. Highway 75.
The pictures of his Outlet look wonderful and worth checking out. Call him at (936) 856-5001 or go to www.growersoutletinwillis.com. Come to the next meeting on the first Thursday of the month at the Community Center in Coldspring. The meeting starts at 1:30 p.m.
•Women’s League will be back on Sept. 14 at 11:30 a.m. with lunch at noon. Members will enjoy a wonderful lunch and talk and catch up with those they have not seen for a few months. Coldspring Community Center is the venue as always and the tables will reflect the creative abilities of the ladies who take turns in delighting the membership every month with their beautiful centerpieces.
•Coldspring Library will hold its annual Garage Sale fundraiser on Oct. 11-14. If you have items to donate, big or small, call (936) 653-3104.
The Garage Sale is held in Coldspring Community Shelter on Highway 150 and is the biggest source of donations for the library. It is always a wonderful place to find bargains. People are usually very generous with donations.
If you would like to volunteer to help with this event, call the library for information. Don’t forget Sept. 29 is the Dolly Parton Imagination Library Celebration. It will be one year since this wonderful program started in our area. This party is for the little ones who are the receivers of the books every month. Adults are welcome too of course.
The event is from 4-6 p.m. It will be in Coldspring Library, and Shepherd Library will be there, too.
•State Rep. Ernest Bailes is inviting businesses owners to a Coffee and Kolaches breakfast in his office at 8.30 a.m. on Sept. 19. He was so pleased with the meeting with elected officials recently, that he thinks this will be a good way to hear from business owners and managers and for them to network with each other. Elected officials are welcome.
