Aquarius fundraiser set

Perennial/bake sale slated Saturday morning in West Liberty

Posted

The West Liberty Aquarius Club, celebrating 51 years as an organization, will host their annual fundraiser, a Perennial Plant and Bake Sale, this Saturday, May 7, beginning at 7:30 a.m. at Fred's Feed & Supply on West Third Street in downtown West Liberty.

All proceeds from the sale go toward community projects and two $500 scholarships for West Liberty High School seniors, with an emphasis in fine arts. The goup also buys books for the elementary school, sponsors the Arion and Sousa awards at WLHS as well as a variety of other community projects.

Virginia Mielke says all the plants are grown by local gardeners, mostly Aquarius members and their families and friends, so the plants are acclimatized to local weather. The group only sells perennials, not to compete with Fred's or the FFA who sell annuals.
