Solar Greenhouse Hosts Fall Festival

Katherine Wiley |

For members of the Community Solar Greenhouse (COMSOG), the start of October means a bare greenhouse and empty gardens. It also means a party.

Sunday afternoon, the group invited community members to its annual fall festival which featured baked goods, pony rides, clowns, free soup and, of course, produce. “It’s grown,” said Marshall Bush, who managed the group for 10 years. “What it used to be initially was the produce that we had accumulated,” he said.
