Guilford Historical Society plant sale a success

GUILFORD — We at the Guilford Historical Society express our gratitude for all the pies, baked goods, plants, and donations that made our May 21 annual Plant and Bake Sale such a huge success.

It takes many helpers to mark the plants and baked goods, to lug the plants in and out from the donors' and customers' vehicles, to run the cash box, to attend planning meetings, to make dozens of phone calls, and to put up the tents and later take them down. “Grateful” is our word for all this help.

We can't forget to mention how much fun we have seeing our friends and neighbors and how much we appreciate people like Doug Richmond, the owner of Richmond's Garage, for allowing us to use such a convenient location for the sale. We also appreciate the Guilford Volunteer Fire Department for allowing us the use of the department's tables.

As George Elliston wrote, “How beautiful a day can be when kindness touches it.”
