It was a gathering of the Mad Hatters when five local garden clubs got together in Cedaredge on June 7. The annual luncheon was hosted this year by the Four Seasons Garden Club, and everything had a touch of “The Mad Hatter.” Wearing “mad hats” are, from the left, Four Seasons members Janie Metz, Kathleen Morse, Mimi Gay, Rita Bodine, Virginia Menke, Kathy Conlon, Esther Summers, Marge Keet, Shirley Hutchinson and Marilyn Stumpf. Displayed on the table are theme decorated hats, one from each of the other clubs. From the left are Friends and Flowers Garden Club, Rose Garden Club, Paonia Garden Club and if you look closely you can see a tall “mad hat” by the Plant & Dig Garden Club behind the center hat.

Five local garden clubs get together once a year with each club taking a turn hosting the luncheon. This year's event was held at St. Philip's Catholic Church in Cedaredge on June 7.

Members of Four Seasons Garden Club were hosts for this year's event. They chose "The Mad Hatter" for their theme.

4-H’ers thankful for support

The county commissioners are personally acquainted with most, if not all, of the Delta County 4-H Council officers who paid an annual courtesy call on Monday to say, “Thank you for your support!” The commissioners each received a handsome desk set and coffee mug as a token of appreciation. A brief adjournment of the bi-monthly commissioners proceedings gave opportunity to enjoy some refreshments and to get caught up on a little neighborhood news. Present for the event with commissioners Bruce Hovde, Olen Lund, and Doug Atchley were 4-H County Council officers and adult advisors Mackenzie Katzdorn, vice president; Tyler Simpson, co-president; Tyrell Clock, co-president; Tess Gore, historian; Grady Simpson, treasurer; Trenton Carr, historian; Tiffany Clock, secretary; Natalie Anderson, reporter; leader/advisors Heidi Simpson and Chandra Carr, and Jackie Goza, extension agent.
