Wise announced that, on March 30, Kenn-Feld will sponsor a Ladies Night from 5 to 9 p.m. During the open house, door prizes will be given away and women will have a chance to drive the equipment. There will also be vendors, workshops, and refreshments. This will all take place at 10305 Liberty Union Road.

The program was presented by Rachel Hoverman on “What’s New for Spring?” Hoverman mentioned “Night Sky”, a new petunia by Proven Winner and mentions the Butter Fly weed, which is a beautiful orange in color that attracts monarchs.
