Utica Garden Club to host plant sale June 8-9

Quilt raffle, vendor market, kids chalk art contest, quilt exhibit, map of barn quilts also part of activities

Gary and Pam Riss, of Streator, had this barn quilt installed on their barn. The quilt was designed by John Betken, who also designed the Pluto mural in downtown Streator. Barn quilts are one way to promote agritourism, and Pam Riss said she has seen some in Kankakee County. She believes this is the first barn quilt in La Salle County — The Utica Garden Club is having its annual plant sale from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 8, and Sunday, June 9, at the Canal Market on the La Salle County Historical Society Museum campus in Utica.
