The local chapter of Quilts of Valor – Ladies of Valor will be displaying their quilts and offering raffle tickets for a quilt you could win on July 4.
The small Wake Forest group has been making quilts and giving them to local veterans for about two years. They meet every Tuesday at the American Legion Post 187 on East Holding Avenue from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and welcome anyone who would like to quilt with them. The proceeds from the raffle will be used for more quilting supplies.
The music this week is by Dry Bread Road, Rick and Betty Newsom. Stick a few dollars in their tip jar; they are not paid by the market.
The Wake County Master Gardeners will answer your gardening questions and provide soil test kits.
