On June 22, 2025, we hosted a Meet and Greet in the back room of the Old Market Pub and Brewery. It was a terrific event featuring a presentation about a 1944 fighter plan crash in Garden Home and free pizza! We estimate at least 75 people attended the Meet and Greet. Thanks for showing up!
We’d like to highlight the efforts made by Susan Houseman in organizing the event and Stan Houseman for the extensive tri-fold displays about the history of Garden Home.
We also want to acknowledge the Old Market Pub and Brewery for the partnership we have with them, both for events as well as permanent displays.
And thank you to Jan Fredrickson for the photos.
