Community House
2 July 1935

The July meeting of the Horticultural
met at Community House
with Albert & Lena Stabler as host
and hostess. Meeting in what
was formerly called the Lyceum
brought back to some of us
recollections of the exhibitions
that used to be held there in
late summer or early fall some
half century or more ago, described
by the neighborhood
historian at that time as
"an assemblage of a friendly
crowd with the unequalled
exhibition of flowers, fruits &
vegetables, with no less aesthetic
or triumps of culinary arts
& needlework, called in fact
the Horticultural Fair. But
after the members began exhibiting
more generally at
the Rockville Fair, this was dropped.
