The History of the Men's
Garden Club of Villa Park
The Club is celebrating its 75th
Anniversary this year, having been
founded in 1936. The pictures below were taken at
the October Awards Night
and Celebration. Member Al Dekker set up a
presentation of memorabilia for viewing.
There are also pictures of the 1952 and 1960 Annual
Fall
Show which featured thousands of entries. There are
also pictures from 1999
when the “hoophouse” was erected.
As momentos, each current member received “An Historical View,”
a trowel with the original logo, and a coin
commemorating the occasion.
