The Central Ohio Daffodil Society Show was held on April 19 and 20, 2008

The Central Ohio Daffodil Society Show was held on April 19 and 20, 2008. The weather cooperated this year and the show was very nice; the quality was high as you have seen from Tom’s photos. We appreciate all Tom’s hard work; he showed and won many classes; he Judged; took photos and then had to go home and edit them for daffnet! Makes me tired just thinking about all he does for us!

 

We had 341 exhibits; 26 exhibitors; 12 artistic arrangements and 681 blooms. Thanks to Creative Arrangers and Serendipity Garden Club for the artistic arrangements; they add so much to the show!

There was a lot of comment at the Show about the quality and depth of color in the flowers this year. We had a lot of visitors go through the show and as usual the comment was “I didn’t know there were so many kinds”; and “do you really grow these in Ohio outdoors!”.

 

One more show to go in our Region; Youngstown next weekend.

 

Thanks also to everyone who brought flowers; judged; or in any way helped to make our show a success. Special thanks to Cindy Cimprich for all she does for us!
