Dear Editor,
The Garden Club of Danville would like to thank the community for its outpouring of support for “Strike up the Band: A Standard Flower Show,” June 4-5 at the Community Art Center. The judges said it was one of the most beautiful they have judged and assured chairperson Sarah Wiltsee that a national award would be in our future.
“It takes a village” to produce an event, and the flower show would not have been possible without our dedicated, visionary chairperson, her committed committee chairs and their committee members working with the Danville community and businesses.
The historic venue of the CAC set the stage with the support of Mary Beth Touchstone, executive director, the CAC board of directors, staff and volunteers who assisted in greeting more than 200 visitors; Milton Reigelman, of Centre College’s Norton Center for the Arts, for staging props; Vince DiMartino and Tom Poland’s musical instruments that were vital in carrying our theme, Gary Chidester and the Toy Box who provided dramatic staging props, Boy Scout Master Steve Ellis and scouts Eli, Patrick and Adam and many volunteers for setting up and dismantling the show.
