Mary H & Mary J picked me up about 9:00 & we headed to Sandyville via 309 & 250 – stopped at Stark Wilderness Center – Impressive! Big – well organized – Kids groups all over place – Beldon Visitor Center full of exhibits. No wholesale candy available at Campbells – but we call bought a couple of pounds.
Scenery gorgeous. Shopped at Walnut Creek. Tiny Tender popcorn. Baby Swiss cheese- jam, etc. Then through New Bedford to Dan Yoder’s to check on states of Huber B Model. All seemed tickled to see me & showed us prototype. Also saw his Himalayan cats. A cross between leopard & cat?? – Also raising parakeets & cockatiels. Left some candy for kids. Dan wants order for 100 Model B’s.
Got home too tired to go to Marion Garden Club.
