http://mcallisterhouse.org/?p=357 Thanks to all who volunteered and participated in our Ice Cream Social on August 28, 2010. It was a huge success with flute music and barbershop quartet singing, antique and vintage cars, Rolo the Clown with balloon animals, free face painting, Mr. Winfield Scott Stratton strolling the grounds, nickel ice cream, hot dogs and lemonade, the Herb Society, Sweet Celebrations and more. About 130 people toured the museum keeping our wonderful and tireless docents busy but happy.

They are updating and improving the landscaping of the museum this summer. The plan has been thoroughly researched and is in keeping with the Victorian era. The front and south gardens are being worked on: the garden club is donating the plants, materials and labor for the project. Drive by to see how lovely the front of the house is looking!

For the second summer in a row, Organically Grown Lawn Service has donated five weed and fertilizer treatments. The lawn is looking weed-free and healthy this year.

The Front Range Herb Society continues to maintain the herb garden by the kitchen. It is particularly beautiful this year!
