Jeff and Julian Jones entertained garden club members yesterday during AGC’s Holiday Celebration. This father and son group has entertained club members often over the last 20 years, and they always delight us. Julian performed for garden member’s when he was just 9 years old. He has mastered his musical talents!
December 4th member’s met at the Bellview Grange to celebrate the Holidays! Member’s were introduced to Yurritzy, and her parents, who received our Rogue Community College Scholarship. The room was decorated with wreaths made by club members, colorful tables full of entrees, salads and desserts and lively festive entertainment was provided by Jeff and Julian Jones, of Generation Jones.
