4th Annual Perennial Plant and Bake Sale to Benefit Walpole Village School
Walpole, NH — May 15, 2007 — The Walpole Village School’s 4th Annual Plant and Bake Sale will be held this Saturday, May 19th from 9:00 am to Noon, rain or shine. The sale will take place at the school's new location in the former Long River Gardens Building at 75 Westminster Street in Walpole. Directional signs will be posted in the village center.
The sale will feature a large selection of locally grown perennials with many unusual varieties. Bagged composted manure, garden-related items hand-crafted by WVS students, parents, and volunteers will also be available for purchase. Visitors will also have an opportunity to participate in a plant raffle, and pick up a variety of delectable homemade baked goods made by some of Walpole’s finest cooks including pies, quiche, baked beans, fudge, and coffee cakes.
Now in its fourth year, the annual plant & bake sale has become one of the school’s largest fundraisers. Proceeds from the plant & bake sale will benefit the School’s scholarship fund. “As our enrollment has grown in our new building, so has the need for more scholarship assistance to help families meet their childcare and early education needs,” says Justin Parrot, the school’s Director. “Our scholarship budget has doubled for the upcoming school year, so the plant sale is a very important event for us,” he continues. For additional information and directions, please call (603) 756-2865.
