Geri Parlin: Now is the time to tell us about fall, winter events - La Crosse Tribune

Posted: 26 Sep 2009 10:04 PM PDT

We barely shivered through summer and here we are plunging full force into fall.

Around here, that can mean just one thing - the fall Home & Garden magazine.

One of the things we always include is a calendar of fall and winter home and garden events that will be going on in the Coulee Region and beyond.

If you have a home tour, a garden seminar, a Christmas walk, or other event home and garden event, we'd like to know about it.

At a minimum, we'd like to know time, date and place. But if you know how much tickets will be and any other details, we'd like to have that information, also.

Send that information to me, Geri Parlin, at La Crosse Tribune, 401 N. Third St., La Crosse, WI 54601, or e-mail it to me at gparlin@lacrosse tribune.com.

The deadline for submission is Oct. 16, so don't delay.

It would be a shame if you were having a candlelight tour in your historic house museum or a holiday homes tour and we didn't tell people about it.

Community Garden Wrap - WHSV

Posted: 26 Sep 2009 07:12 PM PDT

Community members in Staunton are celebration, and reflecting on a year of progress of a neighborhood community garden.

The project started when a vacant lot on Stafford Street, was transformed into the garden.

Participants in the project celebrated their hard work this year, by eating vegetables and fruits that were grown in there.

The project started a clean up effort for all of Stafford Street that was celebrated in August with a festival.

Smoogie Bell, a community garden participant says, "Everything that we did there to plant a seed to fill the need is absolutely still coming forward. It don't just stop when the festival stopped."

Habitat For Humanity eventually plans to use to lot where the garden sits for a house.

But they expect the garden will return next year.
