 Grange Shortcake Social a success
Cedar Mill’s Leedy Grange hosted a Strawberry Shortcake Social and Historic Photo Exhibit June 21-22, the first Grange-sponsored event in over 20 years. Over 300 visitors enjoyed shortcake and a stroll through Cedar Mill history, and two new members joined.
The photo collection will be on display again on August 30, when Leedy will host a fundraising Biscuit & Sausage Breakfast for the regional Pomona Grange. The public is invited to stop in between 7-11 am to enjoy this breakfast treat with all the trimmings.
