Quimper Grange - Open House and Food Bank Garden 10 Year Anniversary!
Saturday Sept 16th 1:00-3:00
Help celebrate 104 years of community service by the Quimper Grange with live music, free ice cream and dancing on the grass! Not only has the Grange been serving our community since 1919, but it has supported an essential community resource, the Quimper Grange Food Bank Garden. We are celebrating ten years of the garden’s operations under Quimper Grange’s sponsorship and the Food Bank Growers.
Come enjoy ice cream while you listen or dance to live music; experience some of the community programs the Grange sponsors; tour the food bank garden; and take home a fall vegetable start or two.
