Last year the fundraiser raised more than $8,000 to support Hospice services for residents of Orleans County.

Lynn Burgess, owner of Lynn’s Salon on West Park Street in Albion, is one of the new businesses selling flowers for Hospice. George’s Fancher Road Service in Albion also agreed to help sell the flowers for the first time.
