displayed.
The refreshment table was
covered with red tablecloths
and white lace placed over
top. Around the entire trable
was a white ruffled skirt with
three large red and green
bows placed accordingly. The
centerpiece was a
candelabra decorated with
white mums, baby’s breath,
greenery and five red candles

At the beginning of the
table was a three tiered cake
decorated with red and green
flowers and topped with two
doves, a gold bow and a gold
50 emblem. The cake was cut
by Mrs. Barbara Wilson and
served by Mrs. Cindy
Lovelace, grand-daughter in
law of the honored couple.
The table also consisted of
chicken salad cups, date tarts
(topped with cool whip and
green cherries), cheese
straws, vegetable sand-
wiches, pineapple slices, nuts
and white mints decorated,
with red and green leaves.
Most of the food was
prepared by Dorothy Gantt
and Carolyn Lovelace,
daughters of the couple..
At the end of the serving
line the red punch was placed
on a round table decorated
same as the refreshment
table with holly and greenery
around the beautiful silver
bowl. The punch was
prepared by Libby Bost,
daughter of the couple and
served by Ashley Leftwich.
The fellowship hall was
then completed with
beautiful red poinsettias set-
ting all around the room.
Mrs. Self received a cor-
sage of red carnations and
Mr. Self received also a red
carnation, for his lapel.
Mr. and Mrs. Willard Self,
who were married in York,
S.C. on December 11, 1937,
are members of the Nazarene
Church of Cherryville. Mrs.
Self is the former Mallie Mae

Salute To Spring Begins February 27 At Charlotte’s Merchandise Mart
When most of us are shovel-
ing snow, worrying about in-
come taxes and bill collectors
the folks at Southern Shows,
Inc. in Charlotte are planning
something much more plea-
sant -- known for 28 years as
“The South’s Salute to Spr-
ing”’ the show will be held at
the Charlotte Merchandise
Mart Feb. 27 through March
6.
This year’s show, accor-
ding to Robert E. Zimmer-
man, one of the event’s
founders, is going to be
‘‘spectacular, and at the
same time filled with prac-
tical ideas visitors can use in
their own homes and
gardens.”
There will be 18 profes-
sionally landscaped gardens,
each one filled with spring
plants, shrubs and trees.
‘The gardens,” said Zim-
merman, ‘‘offer homeowners
ideas not just for plants but
for new kinds of fencing,
walkways, patios, French
windows, retainter walls and
statuary -- all the things that
add so much to a garden and
yet are the extras most of us
find difficult to incorporate in
our plans.
“What makes the gardens
even more attractive,” con-
tinued Zimmerman, ‘is that
just about every one of them
1s attached to an exquisite
designer room. We find
homeowners can relate to
both the room and garden
when they are combined.
After all, that’s how most of
our homes are designed.”
The rooms are created and
installed by top interior
designers. They use antiques,
with the latest trends in home
furniushings, the newest col-
ors, fabrics and always uni-
que accessories.
In addition to the ‘gardens
and rooms, the show has a
huge Orchid Pavilion spon-
sored by the Piedmont
Carolinas Orchid Socity, a
Bonsai Pavilion by the Bon-
sai Society of the Carolinas
and a complete Standard
Flower Show installed by the
Charlotte Council of Garden
Clubs.
All the spring flowers are
changed half way through the
show, so the show is just as
fresh the last weekend as it is
the first weekend.
An added attraction this
year wil be a section of the
Madurodam, a miniature
village in Holland. The ex-
hibit, sponsored by KLM
Royal Dutch Airlines and
WSOC-TV will be surrounded
by Dutch tulips and each of
the gardens ‘in the interna-
tional area will have a Euro-
pean village-scape as its
ackdrop.
While may visitors come to
surround themselves with
spring and enjoy the gardens,
rooms and special features,
others come to shop and plan
improvements for inside and
outside their homes. The
show abounds with hor-
ticulture, patio and garden
furniture and equipment, sun
rooms, greenhouses, swimm-
ing pools, seeds, bulbs, crafts
and home accessories. And,
many of the plants and ac-
cessories in the gardens and
rooms are also for sale at the
close of the show.
Admission is $4.50 at the
door and $4.00 in advance for
adults, $2.50 for students 6 to
12. Children under 6, ex-
cluding groups, are free and
adult group rates are
available.
Show hours are 10 a.m. to
9:30 p.m. every day except
Sunday, when the hours are
10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The 1988 Preview, planned
for Feb. 26 from 7:30 p.m. to
10 p.m., is to benefit Central
Piedmont Community Col-
lege in honor of their 25th an-
niversary. Tickets are $20
each, tax deductible, and in-
clude entertainment, hors
d’oeuvres and an opportunity
to be first to see the show.
