Graton Community Club

10/16/2026

The Graton Community Club Fall Flower Show and Plant Sale starts tomorrow - Friday, Oct.16! Join us as we honor children everywhere! Our theme is "Growing Our Future" and we'll have ‘blank’ ribbons of material if you’d like to write a positive message of hope and encouragement for the children to hang on our front tree!

Today (Thurs., Oct.15) several classrooms from Oak Grove School visited the Club for the traditional “Kid’s Day” event, which includes touring the main hall then buying small plants and toys for discount ($0.25) prices. The children were excited to see many of their artistic creations on our walls and tables. Come see for yourself, admire the youthful artwork, colorful floral displays, the bright cheerful stage decor, and buy some plants for your garden! Admission is free! Enjoy a delicious lunch and home-made desserts ($15)!

In addition to all the greenery - there will be live music, homemade crafts, novelty items, artwork, white elephant gifts, wonderful raffle prizes, and even more toy animals and fantasy figurines if you missed our big sale in August.

Lastly, if you have ANY usable art and craft supplies you no longer need - please bring them to add to our donations boxes, which will later be shared with our local schools.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
Friday + Saturday, October 16-17, from 9am-4pm

This 2026 Fall Flower show ("Growing Our Future") will honor children everywhere. During our Oct.3rd member's meeting, Club members wrote heartfelt messages on colorful fabric strips - messages that express our hopes, dreams and prayers for our Youth and the future. This morning, we had fun hanging them on the myrtle tree out in front.

Ribbons and marker pens will be available inside the building, if you would also like to share your messages of hope.

Looking forward to a beautiful event! Free admission for all, invite your family, friends and neighbors!

Fri-Sat., Oct.16-17, from 9am-4pm.
