The ETDS show was held in a new venue this time in Grace Church Knoxville. Due to an acute medical condition, Lynn Ladd was not able to chair the show this time but was there in great spirit and “Flat Lynn” was able to join us for lunch after judging was complete.
Stacy Wilson agreed to be show co-chair to help with the necessary duties, while Diane Cockerham helped out. Everyone in attendance were very helpful. It was a very small show. Most likely the smallest show yet, but everyone in attendance was so very happy to be there and have a show to attend.
A BIG THANKS to all the exhibitors coming from distant lands, South Carolina, South Georgia and of course myself.
The Gold Ribbon was a 1st time winner for Diane Cockerham! Exciting for her! over the past few years, her husband and her moved from Indiana to Maryville where it’s obvious some of her bulbs liked the move. The winning cultivar was Florence Joy. I’m sure Spud will be proud to see this. The final vote was conducted by raised hand where it was a unanimous outcome. which is a rare occurrence.
Photos below. Next show photos will be Nashvilles MTDS show when I can.
