The Good Cheer Food Bank is holding a raffle in conjunction with the 3rd Annual Harvest Party and Music Fest. The drawing will be held at the Harvest Party on September 10, 2011 at the Bayview center. Last years garden shed raffle raised over $9000 for the food bank and it is turning out to be one of our special fundraising events.
The custom built garden shed/greenhouse was built by Bob Bowling Rustics and can be seen on display at the Good Cheer Food Bank in Bayview. Tickets for the for the 6 by 8 foot structure are $5 apiece or five for $20 and are being sold at all Good Cheer Thrift Stores, the Food Bank office, and at Bob Bowling’s booth at the Bayview Farmer’s market.
Bob’s contribution to the food bank is a labor of love. He has used his skills as an artisan to handcraft a truly functional work of art. Bob felt that his biggest contribution to the Good Cheer Food Bank would come from his hands and he was sure right!
We have been very fortunate to have the support of our business community here on South Whidbey and we try to write a little something about everyone who helps us create a hunger free community. We encourage everyone to buy local and help our local businesses prosper.
Bob Bowling Rustics and the Chocolate Flower Farm, two of our local businesses combine to take the “Best in Show” award at The Northwest Garden Show.
Bob Bowling Rustics offers an unlimited variety of playful yet practical garden structures for your outdoor living spaces. One of a kind playhouses, chicken coops, greenhouses, tool sheds, outhouses, and garden chapels are made to order.
This fun outdoor shower was showcased at The Open Door Gallery at Bayview Corner in Langley, Washington.
Stone Water Bowls are another popular item made by Bob Bowling Rustics.
