Sept. 2, 2014, the White Cloud Club members began their fall trip at the Tazza Bella in Mt. Pleasant for coffee. Old World Victorian Treasures was their next stop where Bryan Wambold told of their interest and knowledge of ancient antiques. Members then viewed their large collection that was beautifully displayed. Next they stopped at Harvestville Farm at Donnellson. Pumpkins, squash, gourds and fall plants made a big display for fall decorating.

Lunch was enjoyed at Chandlers Grill in Fort Madison.

They then drove through Franklin, coming home and toured the gardens at the Winery and saw the many homes made of white limestone. Apple Tree Antiques of Donnellson was the last stop. They had oak, walnut and country furniture plus quality general antiques.
