We can't thank Helen Myers enough for all
she does for us.... Her quilt for 2004 was a 32 1/2" X 41
1/2" wall hanging of deer in the moonlight, called Night Watch.
Raffle tickets are on sale each year through December 10 for the
annual prizes. The winning tickets will be drawn at the Christmas
Tea.
You do not have to be present to win. Income is used for
site-related improvements.
Purchase tickets from the Limberlost cabin, $1.00 each or $5.00 for six tickets. Email, write or phone. Make checks out to Friends of the Limberlost.
The 2003 quilt, "Mallards In The Marsh" by Helen Myers was won by Jim Timmons, President of the Geneva Town Board at the dedication of the Wabash River Rainbow Bend Park. Dr. Charles Beall won the matching pillow.

PHOTO CREDITS
The great telephoto bird pictures are borrowed from the superb
birding website of Ron Rothman
Be sure to visit his newest site, 2005.
The goldfinch facing left should be credited to
Michael H.
Myers who is kind to share it with us.
Author Norma Lu Meehan autographed her book, "Heroine of the Limberlost, a Paper Doll Biography of Gene Stratton-Porter" at the Limberlost State Historic Site. Although she is not a relative of Jeannette Meehan, Gene's daughter, she cares enough to produce a second book about Gene Stratton-Porter, set in the Hollywood years.
