UNITARIAN CHURCH PLANT, BOOK, BAKE SALE
40TH ANNUAL SALE - APRIL 21, 2012
9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

We are aware that the ruby gemstone is designated to celebrate a 40th Wedding Anniversary. Perhaps there could be a special flower to mark the 40th Plant Sale of the Quincy Unitarian Church. Through the past 39 years, the leadership has been steady, though adjusting to changes. We have lost some good helpers. However, new people have come who have new ideas that improve the quality of the Plant - Book - Bake Sale.

In 2007, the building of the addition to the church allowed a relocation of plant and book sections. A skilled crew built library-style book shelves. The bake sale expanded to have a pleasant visiting area for people to have refreshments and conversation. An interior ramp leads to the large, new area (now called The Garden Room) where the plants are displayed. Several hundred invitational postcards will be received by people who have attended in recent years. They appreciate the reminder as they have become loyal participants of this event. With the devoted support of the church members and friends through the years, the Unitarian Church Plant - Book - Bake Sale has become part of the church identity in Quincy.

We took some pictures during the Plant Sale a few years ago, and we've prepared a slide show you might enjoy.

Tables Full of Baked Goods

In our Heritage Room, tables are filled with baked goods. On Friday evening, members and friends will begin bringing in cakes and breads, pies and cookies and jellies and jams. By 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, the space is filled to overflowing. And the baked goods are always the first to sell out.

Standing in Line in the Rain

People will be standing in line, even in the rain, waiting for our doors to open. After years of experience, the people of Quincy have learned to be right here, very early, on Plant Sale Saturday. It is the best chance they will have to get the best of the best.
