Market on the Ridge
Antiques, Artisans
March 22 from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Mark your calendars
What a wonderful time for visitors to come to the Ridge for there are so
many peach orchards in bloom and other trees and bulbs in bloom. Spring is here but the weather is having some
difficulty adjusting. My tomato plants
are outside and I will have to cover them tonight to protect them for the
cold. It will be better by the end of
the week.
Strawberries and asparagus will be coming in in a couple of weeks, too.
Have you noticed
the new signs (toppers) a top of the Welcome to Ridge Spring. A reader of the column wrote, “Coming into the town of Ridge Spring I was surprised and
pleased to see the beautiful quilt block on the entrance sign. I was told they
were on the other two entrances, so of course I had to see them. They are
absolutely beautiful!!! Ridge Spring is such an up and coming town
with many activities going on such as the farmers' market, Charleston
style indoor market at the Civic Center March 22, the Magnolia Ridge
Antique and Art Gathering and the huge yard sale in June. I
definitely will be coming back!! The
quilt blocks for the three entrances coming into town are in place and a very
beautiful addition to Ridge Spring. The quilt blocks were made possible
by the Ridge Spring Harvest Festival committee providing the funds, the artists
at the Art Center for painting the blocks and the town for getting them in
place. Thanks to all of you for making this possible. They are a
bright and interesting greeting to those entering our town.”

nice to have them all.

It is that time of year again, when
activities at the Art Center are starting to take starting up again. The Harvest Festival funded thee quilt blocks
as toppers for the three brick entrances to the town. Each topper measures 2 foot by 6 foot. One honors the Asbill family and will be
located on the entrance on Highway 392.
Another will honor the Householder family and will be at the eastern
entrance on Highway 23. The final topper
is located on 23 in front of the John Deere and in honor of the Crouch
family. Each topper is representative
of heirloom quilt patterns from three families that have contributed a service
to the community.
