2017 Putnam County Fair Board Honors 10 Years of Master Gardeners
The Putnam County Fair Board recently honored the PCMG group for
10 years of participation in the Putnam County Fair. The group's initial participation reportedly consisted of a 'few plants on a few tables, manned by a few Master Gardeners.'
Involvement in the Fair has consistently grown year over year, expanding
creatively to become 'one of the most popular exhibits.' Congratulations to each Master Gardener who contributed to the team's success throughout the past decade.
