125th Washington State Grange Convention Day 1

We had a busy morning with turning in our entries, auction baskets & cookies.  We also turned in items for the Youth Departments Keep Washington Warm Project.

Committee work started at 10 am and most were done by 11.  This will be presented to the Delegate body over the next couple of days to be voted on.

This afternoon was the Memorial Service for Past Masters and their spouses plus a roll call memorial.  It was a very beautiful ceremony.

We then had a fashion show that included two of our own members.  They started in the 1970’s and went backwards to the pioneer days.

Then we had a reenactment of the very first State Grange meeting.  This was entertaining and some topics haven’t changed.

The evening ended with a bake sale auction and an old fashioned square dance.
