LETTERS TO THE EDITOR | Plenty of friends on South End

To the editor:

In all kinds of weather, friends show up to support Friends of Friends Medical Support Fund and South Whidbey Tilth. Thanks to all who braved the wet and windy elements to support the plant sale at South Whidbey Tilth, Sunday, May 20. The sale was a combined effort and the groups will split the donations. The Tilth campus was a perfect venue for plant shopping with many local farmers selling organic produce, herbs and arts and crafts. Special thanks to local musicians Steve Showell and Russel Klepper and friends who provided entertainment, and to Tilth organizers, Annapoorne Colangelo, Prescott, and market manager Lynae Slinden who worked with the friends group on the event. Tilth will continue to sell the remaining plants during their farmers market hours, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Sunday through Oct. 28.
