NEW BUSINESS
We discussed the upcoming Metamora Garden Tour. This event is put on as a fundraiser by one of our members, Gallery 194, and will be held on July 10th this year. Last year's Tour brought over 500 visitors into the Metamora area and allowed Gallery 194 to install an elevator at their facility. All of the gardens this year are within 1 to 5 miles from downtown Metamora. Tickets will be $12 if purchased ahead of time or $15 on the day of the tour which is from 10 - 3. Maps will be provided with the locations of the six gardens, four of which are down long gated drives, two of which will have resident artists displaying their works and shops. All of the gardens reflect the owner’s special likes and this year there are a lot of water features and outdoor living "spaces". Call Gallery 194 at (810) 667-1495 for more information.
