Thank you so much for your extensive and informative coverage of the Eighth Annual Logan County Garden Tour. The publicity you provided, along with the great pictures taken by Pam Casady, gave us a giant boost for our annual fund raiser.

We use the money for various beautification projects in Logan County. We will be better able to complete those projects thanks to the support of the News-Democrat & Leader.

Our extended community, local vendors including Farmers Hardware, Country Koi Watergardens, The Patio Room @ C & J Mulch, Turners' Produce Valley, Gorgeous Gourds & More, Stuart Gardens, and Down South Delights supported our new venue in the best way.

Also, we want to extend additional thanks to the citizens of Historic Auburn. Community wide they offered open arms of welcome.

Tour attendees saw the beautiful interior and garden of the Pearce Memorial United Methodist Church, Auburn Library and Museum, the home gardens of Randy and Sandra Lee, Bob and Shirley Brawley, Eric and T.J. Meguiar, Mack and Virginia Wilson, Wendy Knight Gibbs and Jim Pounds, Rex and Linda Evans, Wayne and Nancy Dinsmore, Bruce and Judy Baggett, Marion and Jean Lee, Tom and Judith Hoover and the rest stop at the shade of Cumberland Presbyterian Church.

It was a glorious day to be outside.
