Rinker – Peg is our maple tree. She is sturdy, dependable
and able to change with the seasons (or vendors) and always
there. Peg has been taking care of our vendors and helping
with set-up since the beginning of our garden shows. Many
vendors come back year after year just to see Peg. She has
developed many friendships with the vendors over the years.
We had a record number of vendors this year. Thank you,
Peg. |
