| October 9, 2018 -- Harmony Grange had a very successful Agricultural Fair on August 25 at the Grange Hall. Exhibits were good attendance excellent, and very fine weather. Although the Hall is not accessible directly from Route 110, many people found it, thanks to the volunteers who placed signs along the way.
The pulled pork sandwiches, corn on the cob, and the plant sale were big successes. There were fewer vegetables to judge this year because of the weather but there were several lovely baskets of vegetables.
Several people signed up to become members at our membership table and we will have a Welcoming Ceremony so they can become members. Several lecturers were held on
Agricultural subjects. We had music, animals, antiques, face painting for the children, and exhibits, featuring antique cars, farm equipment, and a stationary engine powering an air compressor. The Farm Bureau also had a table. A big thank you goes to the many grange members and non-members who volunteered for the planning and who worked at the Fair.
We will drape our charter during our September meeting for two members, including our Secretary, Susan Carol Sulier.
Our next event will be the Christmas Boutique in December. Details will follow in future articles.
Harmony Grange has a post office box for receiving mail. The address is: Harmony Grange #92, P.O. Box 906, Monroe, CT 06468.
Harmony Grange wishes everyone an enjoyable Fall and the colorful foliage were have in this state
