| MOONLIGHT GARDEN PARTY SUNDAY, JULY 13TH Last year we moved the date for this event from late August to mid- July and enjoyed a significantly larger group of participants. The warmer weather and more leisure schedules of mid-summer have led us to make this date change permanent. We have selected Sunday, July 13th for this year¹s celebration. Join us for an enchanting garden experience under the stars. The moonlight setting transforms the garden into a magical retreat and hundreds of sparkling white lights candles and luminaries add a glow that is truly breath taking. The Garden and Gift Shop will open at 7: 30 PM. Don't miss out - we're contemplating our third wine event! Guests are invited to browse among the flowers and sample wines while lingering in the garden and gift barn. The program begins at twilight (approximately 9:00) and will feature remarks from the Little Swan Lake Winery from Estherville, IA. Scott and Diane Benjamin will share about their winery, explaining and promoting their business while explaining about the wines they produce. Learn how they got started with the winery, some of their hurdles, goals and achievements. Reservations for the evening are required - $10 per person and may be limited to a manageable size. The evening will conclude with door prizes. |
