The women of Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington, Va. are again getting ready for the annual dried flower sale and house tour. One of Rappahannock County's major fall season events, it will be held this year on Oct. 21 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Oct. 22 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
This year will be the 44th year for the seasonal event that attracts people from all over the area to view a selection of country homes, tour the lovely countryside, and purchase beautiful flower arrangements. In the last 43 years over one hundred thirty houses have been shown and thousands of arrangements have been sold.
This year the event is co-chaired by Louise Ellis and Judy Tole.
Three houses, selected by the churchwomen, will be on the tour: (A) Potter’s Ridge, a handmade house nestled in deep forest, owned by Jeanne Drevas and Carl Aplin; (B) Sharp Rock Farm, located in an unspoiled rolling valley at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains next to the Hughes River, owned by David and Marilyn Armor; and (C) The Segala House, a renovation of the Piedmont School built in 1850, owned by Roger Segala.
Tea and sandwiches, included in the $15 price of admission, will be served from 2-5 each day at the Middleton Inn, a bed and breakfast owned by Ms. Mary Ann Kuhn.
Prior to the weekend of the event, members of the Episcopal Church Women (ECW) of Trinity Church are also involved in developing the brochure that describes the event, distributing brochures, preparing publicity, and preparing the scripts for each of the houses on the tour.
