Christmas Party Photos
The Spade & Trowel Christmas Party was held on Tuesday, December 29, 2015, at Abbott's on Broad Creek in Laurel. A cold buffet lunch was served. Everyone was in a festive mood (especially since the greens sale and flower show were over) and ready to just have fun. The room and each table was decorated very nicely. A fun game of "pass the gift bag" took place; as well as, a silent auction. A special thank you goes out to those who helped coordinate this event.
