The Mt. Zion Club met in the Marge Zink home Oct. 18, for their regular meeting with10 members and two guests in Marge’s pumpkin patch (the front room) to take home. The Devotion was titled the Pumpkin patch comparing people to pumpkins; roll call was a spooky memory, delicious treats were served then we enjoyed bingo. Next meeting will be Nov. 15, with an afternoon meeting.

The Rockville Methodist Church Quilt Show held Saturday Oct. 21, had a beautiful day and wonderful crowd to enjoy the beautiful quilts on display, country store and the demonstration on applique and needle tarring. Ms. Sullians had a had a big darning needle she twisted thread on and comes off beautiful tatting, I could watch for hours. We’re hoping for a class in the spring. The youth served a delicious lunch; Beverly Pelkey was winner of the quilt drawing. The gallon of empty spool there were 79, no winner. We thank everyone making it a success.
