Like a little rain in your martini?  Neither does the Oakhurst Community Garden. Threats of rain in the forecast have forced the org to move its Martinis in the Garden fundraiser to the Friends School this evening.

Also, Cheryl announces that tonight’s Concert on the Square with Roxie Watson has been cancelled.   The Rain Barrel Auction, already once moved, is being pushed back again to the Arts Festival next weekend, according to Beth.

Playing off our well-known communal weakness for eating and drinking outdoors, Stephanie at the Oakhurst Community Garden announces this year’s Martinis in the Garden fundraiser and sends along this press release…
