The Englewood Lions Club will be selling poinsettias obtained directly from the grower at the Englewood Farmers Market on the north side of Dearborn Street on Thursdays, December 7 & 14. Besides brightening your holiday décor, they make great gifts. Prices are four inch (one stem) $6; 6.5 inch (2 stems) $12; eight inch (3 stems) $20, and ten inch (3-4 stems) $28. If you can’t make the Farmers Market, you can purchase them at the Lions clubhouse (4611 Placida Road) on Saturday, December 9 from 10am to 1pm.
