Wilson, members of the Regina Photo Club.

Many thanks are also sent to our Show Sponsors, Dutch Growers Garden Centre, Sherwood

Summer picnic and tour

Our pot-luck supper was most enjoyable to all those members, husbands, daughters, relatives
and friends that were able to attend.
Thanks so much to JoAnn for opening up your home and yard for us, we thoroughly enjoyed
JoAnns large yard with all the lilies, plants, shrubs, trees and secluded area.
Our tour to the Historical Lily Garden was not taken due to the heavy rain and muddy areas
that we would have to walk through.
Then all of us went to Shirleys yard, with so many magnificent lilies. Thank you Shirley for
letting us tour your yard.
Last stop on our tour was Norm and Ethias yard, which was so beautiful and well kept. After
we had the tour we were treated to drink, dainties and chatted for quite a while. Thanks, Norm
and Ethia for showing us your gorgeous yard!
