Here are some pics from our 2018 Dahlia Show

Monroe County Fair 2018

On Friday, August 3 - A dozen dahlia enthusiasts gathered at the new site for the Monroe County Fair. We put together a small show, and judged our own entries. This was a good warm-up for larger shows to come this summer. Judges brushed up on their skills and we enjoyed each other’s company as well as the flowers.

Our RDS judges narrowed the "Best Dahlia" down to five and the general flower chair picked two winners instead of one. Tom had "Javier" and Al had "Fancy Pants". Carol was another big winner, but hers was not picked this time. Below are a couple of pictures from the fair.
