The Juneau Community Garden Association’s 24th Annual Harvest Fair was a grand success thanks to the generosity of time, talent and treasures from so many friends of the garden. We are grateful to Holy Trinity Episcopal Church for use of their kitchen and the Juneau Gun Club and the Juneau Hunter Education Complex for the use of their parking lots. Thanks to Super Bear IGA for the generous donation of hotdogs and buns. Thanks also to KTOO and KINY for air time on the radio.
Produce and flowers were exhibited at the fair and ribbons awarded by the team of expert judges: Ed Buyarski, Janis Buyarski, Peter Froehlich, Jenny Fremlin, Val Hillyer, David Love, Nikki Love, Nan Mundy and Joe Orsi . Well done, folks.
Gratitude is also extended to the talented musicians, Gerry Fiscus, Dale Wygant, Lis Saya, Leif Saya and Amy Houck, who provided a festive atmosphere, and the hard working youth from the Johnson Youth Center who assisted with setup and take down of the fair.
The Farmers’ Market, food sales and exhibit of produce and flowers are made possible through the efforts of JCGA members who contribute produce and baked goods for purchase, and work to make sure it all runs smoothly, including parking, setup and cleanup. Thanks to all for your dedication to our garden.
Despite the southeast weather Juneau gardeners love to play in the dirt and then celebrate with each other as we share the fruits of our labors. Thanks to everyone who made the celebration a wonderful success!
Pat McLear,
JCGA Board Secretary
