A brightly decorated entrance at the Schroeder Town Hall greeted visitors to the West End Flower Show on Saturday, July 18 as the 80th anniversary of the West End Garden Club was celebrated.

A basket of colorful puff balls, a baby carriage of flowers and a tea table with a flowered cake carried out the 80th anniversary theme As Time Goes By.

A short program recognized Joyce Krueger as a longtime club member of musical talent and floral arrangements.
