The Watch Lake & District Women’s Institute held a fairy garden planting class at the Watch Lake Community Hall on May 21.
Marcia Stratton and her assistant Linda Kennedy, both from Horse Lake Garden Centre, guided 45 women through the steps to creating their own unique fairy garden containers. About 15 of the participants had travelled to our community from Kamloops to attend.
By the end of the morning, the hall was filled with a wide variety of creative arrangements. The class was followed by lunch in the hall and door prizes were awarded. Tanya Richards was the recipient of a hanging basket and Donna Thiessen won a beautiful handmade tea towel.
Local artist featured
Several members of the community will be taking a trip to the Armstrong Spallumcheen Museum and Art Gallery, where pieces by Carol-Lynn Davidson will be on display June 5-28.
Carol-Lynn was a good friend and neighbour to many in the community as well as a highly respected artist and quilter. Her husband, Jim, has put together a special collection of her artwork for all to enjoy.
Pasta night
The Watch Lake North Green Lake Community Association hosted a pasta dinner night at the Watch Lake Community Hall on May 24.
The dinner was a success and the hall was quite busy. Special thanks are extended to the four volunteers who were kept on their toes cooking and serving the pasta dinner – Tanya Richards, Carol Roberts, Carrie Jensen, and Joni Guenther.
