Annual day lily sales were held in the fall each year  with the help of benefactors from Pinehurst  Gardens.  With their passing, the sales could no  longer be held.

The original Orange County Trash Off was a day set  aside to help residents clear out heavy trash from  their properties.  An example is this excerpt  from the Orange Leader in 2004.
