Wins quilt

Congratulations go out to Melba Peek Welch for winning the lovely quilt that the senior citizens raffled off at their annual yard sale in the Ellaville City Center. The Seniors raised close to $400 on this raffle.

This was a hand-made quilt of different fall colors in squares, and the seniors themselves quilted this lovely piece of art.

Congratulations Melba.
