Black Hills District of Garden Clubs
The Olympia Garden Club hosted their annual Merrie Makings Program at the Lilly Road shop during the week of Nov. 17th. The "Merrie Makers" performed outstandingly and exceeded their goals ahead of schedule, even closing the shop two days early! The shop was filled with beautifully crafted wreaths, centerpieces, and festive holiday mugs in anticipation of order pickups on Saturday, the 22nd.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this event enjoyable and successful!
