Zink Farms Garden Tour - Carrington, ND

 

Tuesday, July 18, 2023, was the perfect time of year for some Carrington community ladies to tour Brenda Zink's flower gardens. 

 They were thrilled to see such an abundant variety of flowers and colors on such a wonderful, sunny day!  

As you can see from the pictures, Brenda has interspersed rustic tools and antiques throughout her flowers... which enhances the overall beauty of her landscaping.

  

And, if you look closely, you can see all kinds of interesting items peeking out... in, around, and through the green foliage. 

 Not only did the ladies appreciate the immense amount of time and effort that Brenda had dedicated to her gardens, but they also appreciated the yummy luncheon which she prepared for them.  

One of the ladies remarked that it would be wonderful if Brenda would host a tour open to the entire community... as she had done once in years past.

 So, what do you think, Carrington? Maybe we can talk her into to it for next year... when her flowers are at the height of their beauty... just waiting for admirers to come and appreciate them!

Memorial Day Ceremony - Carrington, ND - 2023

 

For those of you who live locally, don't forget to attend Carrington's Memorial Day Ceremony & Luncheon next Monday, May 29th, at Trinity Lutheran Church. 

 The American Legion and VFW Auxiliaries have arranged the program and are providing lunch for the entire community.   The community Memorial Day program and luncheon will be at 11 a.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church. 

The auxiliaries were happy to see that many community folks came out to Carrington Cemetery to help them place flags on veterans' graves.  Every year they can depend on the thoughtful help of the community to make the cemetery look especially beautiful. 

Attached is a picture of the Veterans' Memorial where our ceremonies were held in the past.  The memorial was placed in the cemetery in 1949 in honor of all military individuals who have given their lives for our country.
