Artists, gardeners combine talents for show

Five of the best gardeners in Havre are combining forces with some of the best artists to put on the Havre Art Association’s Art in the Garden on Sunday.

Five finely decorated yards will display work by some of Havre’s bests artists. For $5 people can tour the five yards and see the art.

One ticket will be drawn at the end of the day and the winner will get to select a piece of artwork from a special selection of artwork at one of the gardens.
