            The annual veggie exchange was another huge success with garden producers sharing extra vegetables with their fellow gardeners. The program was sponsored by the Preeceville and District Ministerial Association.

            "Gardeners were encouraged to exchange extra vegetables with others who were short of something," said Miles Russell.

            Produce was dropped off at three sites: the Anglican Church in Endeavour; the Lutheran Church garage in Preeceville, and the United Church hall in Sturgis.

            Vegetables included lots of zucchini, tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes, carrots, beets, assorted melons, corn and pumpkins.

            The leftover produce was donated to the Mackenzie Society and private care homes in Preeceville and Sturgis.
