Anawan Oakton Grange News

I am sorry to report that we lost a 74 year member when Earl N Goff Jr. died on March 5, 2018. He was a faithful member and always helped the Grange members with his Fuller Brush parties. He will be missed.

On March 24 we hosted Bay State Pomona for a spaghetti luncheon, meeting and entertainment by our favorite step dancer, Willow.

Our tulips are trying to push through the snow. The snow drops and crocus are decorating the lawn where the snow has melted. These are sure signs of spring. Another one is the Acushnet Grange Spring Agricultural day on Saturday, April 7th 10 am -3pm 1121 Main Street, Acushnet. There is a coloring contest for children ages 5-14. A Seed Demonstration 11 AM and at 1pm there will be a draft horse demonstration behind the Grange hall. Sounds like a good day to also see beekeepers, Future farmers and others.

Our April 10th meeting will be a health and safety night with a penny sale for deaf activities. On the 24th we will have a presentation on Lyme disease. Looking forward to the State Grange Extravaganza with a baking contest , talent contest, and public speaking contest at Guiding Star Grange hall in Greenfield MA 2pm.All are welcome. The greenhouse is again in service so SPRING is in the air.
