Garden Party in Amherst

The lieutenant governor is taking her garden party on the road.

The public is invited to attend the party on Aug. 26, at the Cumberland County Museum and Archives, 150 Church St., Amherst.

This is the first garden party the lieutenant governor has hosted outside of the Halifax Region.

"From the day of my installation meeting people in their own communities has been a priority for me," said Lt.-Gov. Mayann Francis.

"Hosting a garden party outside of the Halifax region seemed like the next step in making the Office of the Lieutenant Governor accessible to as many Nova Scotians as possible."

The event will run from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., refreshments will be served and all are welcome. The dress is business.

Volunteers from the Amherst Township Historical Society helped organize the party.
