Blooming Art at the Old Mill, 2024 is now behind us!
The weather was perfect the entire weekend and our perennial fundraiser didn't disappoint! The show received rave reviews from those who attended and we thank our Island Community for supporting this event. We so appreciate the 36 Island artists who took part in the show and the Garden Club members who participated by creating the interpretive floral designs that made the show bloom! Thanks also to the Club members who acted as docents, those who readied the Mill for the show and to the Blooming Art Committee for planning and facilitation of the event.
