Garden Display - 2011 Lake County Fair
 

Once upon a time in a secret garden, fairies gathered to ’Make some Magic’... Surrounded by Nature’s beauty a fairy tale comes alive in the eyes of two small children sitting on a park bench.   This is the scene created by Susan Buckles (chair), and Linda Leslie, and Suzanne Russell. They spent hours, so many hours creating this enchanting Secret Garden where fairies flitted about; flying through the air, landing on plants, and skipping through the woods. Helpers were: Jerry Buckles, Marva Brandt, Jo Jameson, Barbara Swanson, Leanne Harvey, Linda Waterstraat, & Linda Pyers.
