Events at the Carriage Museum...
The May 30th event was well attended and a wonderful
social event held at the Carriage Museum on the grounds
of Hopeland Gardens.
Unfortunately, the heat kept us from having lunch there
in June as well as the drive through the horse district.
Up for a Bloody Mary or Mimosa? Check out the breakfast drive on August 15th on P.2! Hope to see you there.
Also, please see the request for help on p. 5…..Joanne
