Raffle Tickets for Laudholm Nature Crafts Festival $12.00
Dozens of prizes will be lined up in the Laudholm Raffle Tent during the crafts festival on September 11 and 12. Most participating artisans donate an item, and we always offer a beautiful handmade quilt made by Laudholm volunteers. Buy a sheet of 10 tickets for $12 and we'll place them in the baskets at random. (If you want to enter for specific prizes, please buy your tickets at the raffle tent.) Remember, the whole festival — including the raffle — is a benefit for Laudholm Trust in support of the Wells Reserve.
Sometime probably in the 1920s, Charles E. Lord and George C. Lord II saw to the production of an 8-page booklet to promote Laudholm Farms' cream, butter, eggs, roasters, and broilers to the Boston market. Half a century later, when the effort to protect Laudholm was gaining momentum, the Trust reproduced the booklet as a special gift for important donors. Now, many years later, we have scanned the pages from one of these reproductions to share online. Enjoy.
We enjoyed a nice turnout at the opening reception for George Burk's "Aspects of Change" exhibit. The warm sun and gentle breeze allowed the doors to remain open, welcoming visitors into a relaxing space.
The paintings depict coastal scenes. The salt marsh theme that emerges is especially appropriate for our estuarine reserve.
In the past couple of weeks, it's been hard not to notice the bright yellow plastic cards that have appeared in clumps of vegetation. Yesterday, I caught up with the guy who has been hanging and collecting them, field research entomologist Phil Stack. He filled me in; they are traps for catching fruit flies.
