Gina Guilford and sister, Kelley Schild, will co-chair a November 5 event called Tropical Punch. As a member of the Pinecrest Garden Club, Gina has enlisted the talents of another member who created a tile mural, titled Tropical Punch, that she has donated to Pinecrest Gardens. The mural, to be installed that day at the concession stand, will be unveiled at the affair with proceeds directed to a Learning Garden to be built at Pinecrest Gardens. Tickets are only $20 and may be purchased online or at the Pinecrest Farmer’s Market. The group is also hoping to get people to participate in a tropical punch contest at the event, which is open to the public. Guests will sample punches and vote for their favorites.
