2011 Home & Garden Weekend, Huge Success

June 30, 2011

I wanted to take this opportunity to publicly thank the hundreds of volunteers who made our biennial Home and Garden Tour and Plant Sale such a tremendous success this year. We were blessed with the two most perfect weather days in June, which weren’t absolutely necessary to our success but certainly didn’t hurt! A record number of visitors toured the featured homes and attended the sale. There is absolutely no way the local Democratic Party could have made this event happen without the hard work of so many dedicated people.

Most especially, I want to thank the homeowners in the western part of the County who graciously opened their homes and gardens to the public this year. You provided such a wonderful opportunity for local tour participants as well as guests from South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and other parts of North Carolina to enjoy both the history and the uniqueness of your homes and the incredible beauty of the western area of Watauga County.

Thank you again to all who helped make the tour such a triumph!

Sincerely,

Diane Tilson, Chair

Watauga County Democratic Party
