Alive After Five mixes garden party with picture perfection

The recent Nacogdoches County Chamber after hours event was an October treat.

Two downtown businesses - Greg Patterson Photographic Studio & Gallery and Texas Gardens & Design by Gary Truchelut - co-hosted the Alive After Five held on Thursday, Oct. 18 at 122 N. Mound Street.

Perfect weather complemented the beautiful setting, live music and delicious food.

Many Chamber members went home with great door prizes that included landscape consulting, huge mums and photo sessions.
