Daffnet,
We had a grand and glorious time this past week at Barco, NC., including great spring weather We had an ADS Judging School 1 in which we had 12 students that all passed. Carolyn Hawkins, Richard Ezell, Lissa Williamson as Proctor and Clay Higgins doing double duty as Show Chairperson and Instructor as one of our instructors had an unfortunate situation and was not able to attend at the last moment.
We also had a daffodil show. I usually apologize for winning the piggy award, however, when I can win four major ADS awards and the silver ribbon, I don’t think it necessary this time. Thank you Janet Hickman one of the ADS Judging School 1 students for helping me enter my daffodils – expert help is always apprecaited.
