To the editor:
The American Red Cross of Van Buren County Chapter wishes to thank everyone for our first "Spring Fling Garden and Landscaping Expo" at the ISD Conference Center in Lawrence.
A big thank-you to our sponsors for supporting our disaster services – Bangor Community Fire Department, Coca Cola of North America of Paw Paw, Hartford Fire Department, Old World Gardens of Hartford, Paw Paw Wine Distributors and Special Lite of Decatur.
Over the two-day expo we had five speakers. Saturday was Deb Wydick with Floral Arranging, Dr. Woody Ehrle on Michigan champion trees and making willow furniture by Daniel Green.
On Sunday we had Roger Taylor speaking on attracting birds to your garden and Beth Clawson for managing wildlife pests in your area.
Last, but not least, a big thank-you to the vendors for their beautiful displays, for without them this could not have been done. Thanks again.
All proceeds help Van Buren County residents by supporting disaster services.
We are looking forward to our 2009 event on March 6 and 7 at the Lawrence ISD Conference Center.
