| NOVEMBER 1, 2013 -- Space limits our complete list of 2013-2014 officers, but here are a few; it’s a dynamic team! President/Master, Kevin Parker; Overseer, Randy Miller; Lecturer, Sue Sulla; and Steward, Raymond Poirier. Special thanks go to Randy Miller, who served us so well as Master these many past years!
We had a picture-perfect Sunday for our 45th Annual Norfield Grange Fair on September 8. And many, many thanks to all who made it such a memorable day! Perhaps you will recognize some of our Blue Ribbon Best in Category winners: Ginger Jespersen, Drawing; Robert Wachtel, Photography; Pamela Bochinski, Collections; Vanessa David, Best Decorated Cupcake in Connecticut; Victoria Eastus, Jams and Jellies; Weston Hurlbutt Elementary School Learning Garden, Best Tomato in Connecticut (Amateur); Smith’s Acres Farm of Niantic, Best Tomato in Connecticut (Farmer); Nora LaFleur, (6 years old!), Cut Flower Arrangement; Roland, Susan and Alison Poirier, Eggs; Pamela Buchinski, Knitting; and last but hardly least, Scott Jacob, Best “Hooch” in Connecticut.
