If your name is Doris, you have something in common with all the women pictured below.
The Doris Club held their annual get together in Red Wing this year. They have been coming together each year since 1995.
The ladies met at the Red Wing Pottery Museum and had lunch together. A florist from Red Wing gave a demonstration on hanging baskets, something Red Wing is known for, and the group also took a tour of the pottery museum in town.
Some of the door prizes to be given away included a couple of the hanging plant baskets, fresh floral table arrangements made in Red Wing Pottery vases donated by the museum, plus all of the attendees received a custom-made commemorative pottery soap dish.
The following cities have hosted the special “Doris Day”: Storden, Lamberton (twice), Sanborn, Tracy, Redwood Falls, Milroy, Wabasso (twice), Lakefield, Bird Island, Redwood Falls, Minneota, Alexandria, Minneapolis, Willmar, Sauk Centre, Dodge Center, Tyler, Excelsior, Greenwald, Braham, Paynesville, St. Paul and Glenwood.
The group recently received an autographed photo from both Doris Day and Doris Roberts this year, and they were on display for the day in Red Wing.
The only prerequisite for joining the Doris Club is that your name be Doris. Members of the group vary in age from teenage to over 90 years old.
