APRIL SHOWERS BRING MAY FLOWERS WORKSHOP
Actually it was a snow storm, causing the cancellation of the Cavendish Historical Society's April Paper Flower workshop. To celebrate springtime, CHS has rescheduled the workshop for May 10, from 10-12 at the Cavendish Community Library in Proctorsville.

Participants can make a wide variety of flowers from various types of paper. Since the celebrations are now underway celebrating the 250th anniversary (Semiquincentennial) of the start of the Revolutionary War-Cavendish has many Patriots buried here-it's a good time to learn how to make a wide array of red, white and blue flowers.

The workshop is free, open to the public with projects for all ages and abilities and has been made possible in part thanks to the Cavendish Community Fund. FMI: margocaulfield@icloud.com or 802-226-7807.
