She won the Lavender Cookie

My sister Binnie
Bonhage-Bailey and me. Binnie came to the Lavender Fair for the
first time and loved it! She says she'll be back next year! |
Both local TV stations covered the Lavender Fair again
this year. My daughter, Kathleen Shannon O'Brien Hale, made this
blouse especially for me to wear at the Fair. My son, William
Nicoll Hale III, again volunteered his precious time to do the
registration and anything and everything else he was asked to do. |

Nancy Kemper, one of many
wonderful volunteers stands outside the La Paix shop - she sold great
quantities of my products. She says she will return next year.
Yeah! |
