By Helen Thomas Special to the Rappahannock News
For the 53rd year, the Trinity Episcopal Church community is gearing up for the annual Dried Flower Sale and House Tour in October.
Flowers are growing and drying, containers are accumulating in the Parish House on Gay Street and the three houses for this year’s tour are being readied for visitors.
The annual weekend is set for Saturday, Oct, 17 and Sunday, Oct. 18. The annual fundraiser, sponsored by the Episcopal Church Women of the parish and supported by all in the church and many in the wider Rappahannock community, is the sole event the women use to raise money for their charities. Monies realized from this event go mostly to local needs, but also are sent farther afield in Virginia, the nation, and the world.
Three centuries
of homes
This year’s three houses represent three centuries of domestic architecture and they also show the changes that time has wrought on their appearances. In fact, each one now shows only one chapter in their lives as family residences and businesses, in the stories of their owners and their stewards, and in the ongoing use and adaptation of old resources for new needs.
