Remembering Garden Talk and the Grainington Labor Day Birthday
Garden Talk recalls Graettinger Labor Day celebrations past with notes on heat, old venues east and west of town, a notable baseball mishap, and picnics. It chronicles early commerce from H N Osher’s department store to Wildey’s eggs and lead shot, and profiles town figures like Frank Madigan, Ben Reeves, and M O Gredland.
