(Photo submitted) Horticultural Society plans ‘Village Pumpkin Party’ The Auburn Horticultural Society met on Wednesday, June 14 at the home of Karen Redmond. This was a collaborative meeting between the Horticultural Society and the Auburn Playground Committee in order to plan upcoming community events. The Horticultural Society asks that residents “save the date” for October 29. The group is planning a “Village Pumpkin Party” at the Auburn Community Centre, which will be a fun day filled with county fair style competition and pumpkin carving for all ages. Flyers will be circulated in the upcoming weeks with the details regarding exhibits and contests. The afternoon will end with a community potluck dinner – which everyone will remember was a huge success this past Christmas (during one of the first snowstorms of the season). For those who have Facebook, Karen Redmond has started a group for the Pumpkin Party. Watch for posters in the post office as well as the flyers in your mailbox – we hope to give Cathy something to do while the postal strike is on. Everyone will notice that John Street/John’s Avenue has recently seen a bit of a facelift. The boulevards have been fixed and seeded thanks to Verbeek’s Garden Centre of Clinton. Please stay off the seed.
