Gardeners for Regional Organic Wellbeing — GROW!
— thank all the supporters including so many
members of the Bonners Ferry community as well
as from surrounding towns and Montana who bought
tickets for our recent raffle which raised over
$900 to fund ongoing operations.
GROW! provides plots for residents to garden
organically in the community garden on Buchanan
Street in Bonners Ferry. Recently, GROW!
received a grant from Bonners Ferry Rotary to
help with the cost of building three raised beds
for those who are unable to garden at ground
level. Additionally, GROW! provides organic
vegetables to the local Food Bank every growing
season.
Individuals and businesses who donated items,
services or gift certificates for raffle prizes
include Steve Jamsa, Home Depot, Deanna Lauber,
Rona Hall, Krissy King, Keith Snider, Ree
Brannon, Marciavee Cossette, Denise Thompson and
Jerry Pavia. GROW! also thanks Akins Harvest
Foods, Super 1, Yoders, Pro X, and 3 Mile Cafe
and Truck Stop for providing space for raffle
ticket sales.
Emma Grace Robertson picked the winning ticket,
and Deb Foster checked the winner’s name at the
Boundary Community Hospital Health Fair in May.
Pam Barton was the lucky winner of the raffle,
which included a chest freezer and many other
prizes.
A Farm to Table Local Gourmet 5-Course Feast
fund raiser is set for October 15, 6:00 at the
fairgrounds. A raffle and silent auction will
also be held to raise funds for GROW! expenses.
Tickets are $40 per person and they're available
at Bonners Books, by calling (509) 432-5755 or

GROW’s upcoming meetings are at 6 p.m.
Wednesday, September 7, and at 6 p.m. Wednesday,
September 21, both at the U of I Extension
Office, 6447 Kootenai Street, Bonners Ferry. All
