The McHenry Garden Club promoted the City of McHenry's 175th Birthday with a three tiered birthday cake on the grounds at the McHenry County Fair and received a premium first-place award in the open class competition. Each entry had to include a vegetable, perennial, annual and herb plants in a themed garden space. Wayne Kreutzer built the three tiered planter for the club. Amy and Wayne Kreutzer, Judy Walter, Dorothy Kowalczyk, Chris Metz and her son Michael planted the garden.
