WATERLOO GARDENERS

OUR NEXT MEETING - november 23, 2018

November 23 is our annual pot luck dinner.  Please note this is the fourth Friday of the month not the last Friday.

The dinner starts early  at 6:00 p.m.

Everyone is asked to bring any lightly used, unwrapped items for the table centerpiece  and draw.

Please wear your seasonal festive attire.

Do you remember  when the beloved St. Jacobs Farmers' Market burned to the ground?  The date was September 2, 2013.

Tonight our guest speaker is Lawrie Carter, a semi-retired architect.  Lawrie will  show photos of the fire, the push to complete the design and construction of the tent building to get the vendors through the winter, and then the process of designing, constructing the new building.  The market re-opened on June 11, 2015 in a restored and expanded $5 million facility.
