BLUEGRASS WINNERS...
THE FIRST FIVE YEARS

On March 1, 1985, the first shipment

of cookbooks was delivered to our down-
town office. At last, after 2% years of
preparation, the project was completed.
Was there ever a cookbook so handsome?
...so eye-catching?...and of such high
quality? What a wondrous thing we had
wrought!

We had felt jittery about ordering ten
thousand books, but our fears were un-
founded because that first printing

was sold in about three months. Quite
naturally, sales declined after that
extraordinary period, finally levelling
off last summer. Since then, monthly

deposits from the sale of Blue rass
Winners have averaged more than $4,000.
Here's more information that should be
of interest to you:

1. To date, there have been four
printings, adding up to 57,000 books.

2. More than 47,000 Bluegrass Winners
have been sold in the past five years.

3. The Garden Club now has a ”nest egg"
of $176,000. (all from cookbook sales).
The money is invested in Treasury notes
and Certificates of Deposit, with the
interest earned going to maintain the
garden at Ashland.

THE GARDEN CLUB OF LEXINGTON
P. 0. Box 22091
Lexington, KY 40522

4. With $9,226. from cookbook sales
going directly to the garden plus
300 hours of volunteer labor in the
garden (valued at 4.00 per hour),
the Garden Club was able to receive
$10,426. in matching grant funds in
1988. This made possible extensive
renovation, including a new irriga-
tion system.

More news on Bluegrass Winners will

be reported from time-to—time. The
Cookbook Committee wants to keep
you informed!

A FUN FUND—RAISER!

On two occasions, our club is presenting
for sale the very special McAdoo hand-
hooked rugs:

First—-at the Horse Park during the
Three— —Day Equestrian Event, April 27,28
and 29. Patti King and Lucy Breathitt
plan to be in our rented booth in the
Trade Fair area all three days, but addi-
tional Garden Club members will be needed
to help. In 1989 more than 30,000 people
visited the Trade Fair!

Second--at Idle Hour Country Club on
Thursday, May 17. Preston and Cynthia
McAdoo will be there from noon until five
o'clock--so please be thinking of friends
you want to invite to see the rugs and to
meet the McAdoos.

We will have thirty rugs on hand to sell
(all will feature horses). Also we will
take orders for other designs as shown
in a catalog of photos.

Patti and Lucy and Monnie Long have done
all the planning and arranging for this
fund-raiser. The proceeds are to be set
aside for the time when our club must
host a GCA Zone VII meeting.

P.S.—- Don't think Bluegrass Winners has
been overlooked. There will be plenty of

copies for sale, both at the Horse Park
and at Idle Hour.

MORE ABOUT McADOO RUGS

McAdoo Rugs is a cottage industry located
in New Bennington, Vermont. Their hand-
SOme rugs, designed by the McAdoo family
of three, are made of 100% virgin wool
which is hand-dyed by Preston McAdoo.
They are hand-hooked in people's homes

in Vermont, and no two are alike.

"GARDEN CLUB OF AMERICA" TULIPS

Some of these lovely deep-pink tulips are
planted in the herb parterre of the garden
surrounding our ”little girl” lead statue.
They are late-blooming bulbs and are not
flowering at this time -- but do look at
them later on.

'EASTER EGG HUNT AT HENRY CLAY HOME

What a wonderful idea! You can take your
children (or grandchildren) in their Easter
finery to search for eggs at ”Ashland" on
Sunday, April 15th, at 2:30. Prizes will
be given for ”best baskets" and "best
bonnets“. Enjoy Easter cake and see the
Easter bunny.

Reservations are necessary for both adults
and children at $5.00 per person. Make
checks payable to The Henry Clay Foundation
and mail to ASHLAND, 120 Sycamore Road,

NEWS FROM LINDA CAREY

In my frustration with the mechanics
of my portion of the meeting I
neglected to call your attention

to June at the Headley Whitney
Museum. The exhibitions are all
floral works of art — there are
lectures, concerts, a garden party
luncheon style show.

It would be especially nice if our
club would have a strong turn out
of members attending the Flower
Show of the Lexington Council of
Federated Garden Clubs on June7th
and 8th at the Museum. We may

need their support in attending the
Sheila McQueen lecture so lets
support their show.

CONSERVATION NEWS

GOOD NEWS — Carol Jackson and her
committee are working hard, here
is the latest from them:

Randalls stores are offering .05¢
off your grocery bill for every
paper bag you bring in for your
personal reuse. They are also
selling at cost plastic reusable
totes. With a purchase require—
ment Randalls will soon be giving
away 10,000 canvas totes. They
have contacted their egg supplier
and will be switching from plastic
to paper containers. Randalls will
be offering no phosphate detergent
and a line of recycled paper products
The best news is that they are
working on store recycling drop off
sites. The Randalls on Romney Rd.,
Manager, Walt Barber says customer
demand has the grocery industry
focused on conservation efforts.
Garden Club Members should shop at
stores that recycle. Give praise for
conservation efforts and continue
high expectations from all busi—
nesses. A lot of small voices
create a symphony of progress.

DID YOU KNOW?

92% of the American Public View the
environment as a MAJOR concern. Only
6% recycle cans and newspaper.

In the next year the Garden
Club of Lexington will focus on
painlessly changing our wasteful
habits. These efforts will be within
the Club and within the community.
We will provide you with sensable
home and garden alternatives. If
you want to be on this committee
please call, 268—6982.

The Garden Club of Lexington

Fair Flower Show. It was nice of
these ladies to help our neighbor
county. The Judges for Horticulture
were: Louise Ray, Virginia Hagan
and Helen Breckinridge. The Judges
for Arrangements were: Jessica
Nicholson,Sarah Davis and Mary
Dawson. Thanks from all of us for
representing The Garden Club of
