Once again, the Pekin Garden Club outdid themselves! Another fun evening full of games, prizes, and fun was had by all. Our Halloween party consisted of homemade chili, hotdogs, chips, dips, and cookies. A spooky eye relay race game, pumpkin pong toss, a mini bone drop game and a Halloween candy guess. Our prizes were a big hit! Thank you to everyone who brought extra prizes and to those who came out with a spooky spirit ready for a ghoulish good time! 😁🎃👻

Another fun evening was held by the Pekin Garden Club on Monday, September 14th. We had a great turnout for our potluck dinner and many door prizes to choose from. Our speaker for the evening was Kelley Cochran Cohlman from Hoerr Nursery in Peoria. She did an excellent job of sharing information about the Nursery and what all they do and have available for purchase as well as the activities they offer. It was very informative and fun and a wonderful evening was had by all. 😃👏
