The museum first opened in 1883, but has been closed since June 24, 2010,  just as it was planning a huge [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This past weekend, Vines &#38; Vignettes pulled off their second spectacular event, but one new element really stood out. Midway along the garden path, dubbed &#8220;Bark Avenue,&#8221; were several fancifully designed doghouses created by area artists. They were all for sale, with proceeds to benefit the Riedel &#38; Cody Fund, a charity that aids pets [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s been a lot of fun to be on the committee that plans &#8220;Walk With Harold,&#8221; which happens right in my own backyard.
