Annual Plant and Garden Art Show…

Fontana Garden ClubAnnual Plant and Garden Art Show… 

Everyone knows that Memorial weekend is traditionally the weekend to plant your gardens and flower beds.  Some years we are lucky enough to enjoy unseasonably warm weather, while other years we wait anxiously and ask “will Spring ever arrive”?  Unfortunately, this year has everyone still asking if Spring is ever going to come.

While the upcoming weekend forecast is not looking particularly favorable, we think you are probably safe in beginning to get some flowers in the ground and the Garden Fair in Fontana is a great place to start your shopping.

The Fontana Garden Club and the Geneva Lake Conservancy will be hosting their annual flower, plant and garden art sale this Saturday, May 25th from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and Sunday, May 26th from 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. at the corner of Porter Avenue and Mill Street.  Garden Club members will be on hand to offer helpful gardening tips, along with a large selection of perennials, colorful annuals and garden art.  Perennials are provided by local gardens, while annuals come from Jurg’s and Pesche’s.  The Garden Fair will take place rain or shine.

The Fontana Garden Club is a non-profit group that supports community projects, and uses the proceeds from this sale to award scholarships to local students majoring in environmental programs.

Lake Geneva Cannery…

Lake Geneva CanneryLake Geneva Cannery… 

If you haven’t checked out the newest shop in downtown Lake Geneva, you need to put a stop at the Lake Geneva Cannery on your list of things to do.

Locally owned and operated, they’ve been open for several weeks now, and are rapidly becoming a favorite with locals and tourists alike.  Their store is filled with jams, condiments, snacks, coffee and hot sauces galore.  Large selections from the inventory are available for tasting anytime the store is open.  Just a word of caution:  If the sign say’s it’s HOT – they aren’t kidding!

So, head into downtown Lake Geneva and meet our newest neighbors.  We guarantee you’ll have a few favorites before you leave.  Personally, I recommend the Jalapeno Honey BBQ sauce.

Lake Geneva Cannery is located at 120 Broad Street.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has organized another National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day and it is scheduled for this Saturday, April 27th.

This is a perfect opportunity to check your medicine cabinets and linen closets for outdated and unwanted prescription drugs.   You might be surprised at how many items you have in your house that have outlived their shelf life.

Collections are being accepted from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at locations all around Walworth County.  Check out Drop Off Sites for a location nearest you.  Flushing your unused pills down the toilet or putting them in the trash is an unsafe way to dispose of medication.  Please take advantage of this opportunity to safely remove unwanted prescription drugs from your home.
