Amity, Oregon is about an hour and a half drive southwest of Portland, Oregon. This was the 20th year for the Amity Daffodil Festival. It is important to note that ALL of the Amity Daffodil Festival activities/events that make up this community event are planned for, managed, and staffed by the Amity High School Hospitality, Tourism, and Management Class! The entire event is “done” by High School Students.
The Best in Show (Gold Ribbon) was ‘Pacific Rim’ 2Y-YYR. A lovely example of this superb flower. Exhibited by Peggy Tigner.
The Best Vase of Three Stems was awarded to ‘Hot Shot’ 11aY-R! Exhibited by Steve Vinisky.
The Rose Ribbon is awarded for the Best Standard Seedling in the Show and was won by Elise Havens for a superb Standard seedling from ‘Dingle Dell’. Seedling # 3U14.
The Miniature Gold and Rose (Best Miniature and Best Seedling in Show!!!) was awarded to the graceful and elegant #227-16 hybridized and exhibited by Walter Blom.
The Intermediate Ribbon (for the Best Intermediate in Show) and Best Vase of 3 Intermediates was awarded to ‘Signorina’ 2W-GYP grown to the highest level ever seen by the Judging Teams. Expertly staged and exhibited by Rhonda Fry.
I’ll post more winners from the show tomorrow and Wednesday.

Thank you Steve. That Hot Shot is superb.

The bloom of Pacific Rim was nearly perfect! Congratulations to Peggy Tigner. And to Elise Havens for creating it!
Hot Shot is an exceptional split-cup, and you have more phenomenal splits coming in the future as your postings have shown. The 3 blooms exhibit of Signorina was stunning – must have been close balloting to decide the White Ribbon award.
