On a sunny and breezy afternoon, Tuesday, June 19, members of the Glen Lake Garden Club and their guests celebrated the completion of the club’s 30th year at an afternoon picnic at the historic D.H. Day Farm. Owners Don and Annette Lewis, graciously opened their beautiful farm for the Garden Club’s event to the delight of all those who attended. Nearly 100 people came to enjoy an old-fashioned picnic under a white tent where they enjoyed raspberry lemonade and iced tea and a delicious box lunch.
The guests were treated to a horse drawn wagon ride around the farm and a 1929 Packard graced the grounds. Some of the ladies dressed in the period of “days gone by” and many wore big hats adding to the overall experience from the past.
Don Lewis gave a highly interesting presentation about the farm’s past and recent history.
George Weeks, local author and columnist, who is currently working on a book about D. H. Day, shared additional information about the Day family.
