It's Throwback Thursday!
October 10, 1992
The Harvest Jubilee was a Danville tradition that began in 1980 as "Victorian Danville Weekend", hosted the World To***co Auctioneering Championship, and competitions where local home gardeners showed off their best-grown vegetables and canned goods.
The Danville Master Gardeners were part of that tradition, too! These photos from 1992 capture Master Gardeners helping with the home horticulture competition and taking in some of the impressive entries. Just look at those gourds!
It's wonderful getting a glimpse into the history of gardening, Extension, and community life in Danville!
