It's time to let loose and unwind from a busy, beautiful summer. At this full day event, there will be massages, manicures, and a fortune teller.  Vendors include The Gypsy Soul, 'Love Your Breasts' T-shirts (in support of Breast Cancer), Avon, Sunrider, Tupperware, 'No Added Calories' baking mixes and the Dahlia Society.

Workshops for the day include:

Lynda Dowling - Autumn in the Herb Garden from 1:00 pm-3:00 pm
This extremely knowledgeable, wonderful woman will tell you how to put your herbs to bed and cook with what you've harvested.

Asmira Dance - Belly Dancing Lesson 11:30 am -12:30 pm
I think we can all agree it's time to bust a move like we never have before! Asmira is more than ready to put our hips in motion, and she will do it in style.

There will be raffles for an amazing fall planter, a framed photo by Petals by Belinda and a 50/50 draw, all proceeds going to HAT (Habitat Acquisition Trust).
