The Hillsboro Garden Club traveled to Grace Community Church in Washington Court House for the Fall Region 16 Meeting on October 8, 2009 where the theme "Colonial Harvest" was hosted by Fayette County floral clubs. The welcome was delivered by Linda Morgan, who gave some history on the church's structure and programs. "Colonial Arrangements" was the morning program featuring Nathan Zurkowwitz & Julia Hidy. Some of their creations were Williamsburg fruit cones with lemons, apples, and pineapples; opened pumpkins as plant containers or floral arrangement bases; tiered pedestal dish featuring gourd and fall wreaths for thanksgiving/fall celebrations; and an urn with wet floral foam and fresh fall colored flowers arranged. Janet Walker passing the gavel to new regional director Sue Hess was installed by Sharon Ware, 1st Vice President of Ohio Association of Garden Clubs.
