The Town of Hubbardston Senior Center advisory group approved plans for a combined plant-and-art sale on May 10 and discussed details for a Pot of Gold fundraising dinner set to start at 11:30, with organizers aiming to raise $3,000.

The events are intended to draw community members to the senior center and the library’s lower level. Volunteers agreed that art displays will be installed on Friday night before the event and that plant vendors may remain later than the scheduled noon end to sell items. Bev and Cindy were named as contacts for artist and plant registration; Doug will assist with coordination and setup.

Claudia and other volunteers described the layout: the library will host the strictly art portion on the lower level while some plant tables may be placed on the library deck or at the senior center. Organizers said they will decide who provides tables and whether vendors bring their own. Volunteers also discussed offering coffee and sweets during the sale; Jen was noted as the person who had emphasized providing refreshments.

Volunteer Rick Green was mentioned as a possible live-music contributor who may display artwork and play guitar in the library hallway to attract visitors. Staff at the library have agreed to allow exhibitors to set up Friday evening to prepare walls and displays.

The advisory group asked volunteers to take vendor names and contact information and pass them to Cindy for tracking. The group also discussed logistics for cleanup and who would be responsible onsite the day of the sale.

Ending
Organizers asked members to publicize the sale and the Pot of Gold dinner locally and to follow up with Bev and Cindy about vendor registration and table needs. The advisory group will revisit final setup and music arrangements at a future meeting.
