Today was a combined work day and our annual Spring Children's Fun Day. Our hydrant had broken earlier this year, and Dan Rush Contracting was kind enough to help us dig the hole necessary to fix the pipes. We managed to fill the dirt back in before the fun day started. Whew!
We had over 40 kids come to the garden day to make a Mother's Day gift, help us plant, enjoy some lunch and gross out talking about the "dirt dessert!" (Gummy worms, crumbled oreo cookies, and chocolate pudding.) They also went through a ton of bubbles and we had several hula hoop contests.
The kids helped us plant the community tomato and pepper beds, sweet corn, sweet potatoes, the herb garden, and our second St. Stephen's food pantry plot donated by Ruth Bergner.
Special thanks to Gina, Becky, and our super-volunteer Dot for helping make the event a great success. Happy Mother's Day to all the Mothers out there, and happy planting!!!
