Happy Birthday, Vineland Horticultural Experiment Station

Today was the Alumni reunion and public open house to mark the 100th anniversary of the Vineland Horticultural Research Station. About 200 past and present employees and their families attended the morning reunion and picnic.
I saw a number of people that I hadn't seen for over 25 years!



The organizers did a wonderful job providing a picnic lunch.


























Bill Lay made this impressive display to demonstrate all the fruit varieties introduced by the Vineland Research Station. All of the names start with the letter "V" My favourite Veecot apricots were there.

Summer Reading Party

Back-to-School days are coming (thank goodness!) Today we had the party for the end of Summer Reading at the Library. Over 50 children who were registered for the program showed up, as well as about 20 parents and siblings. They enjoyed a bingo game and a craft, and then most of them received certificates for reading the required 24 books.
