April 22, 2023 the Chambersburg Garden Club & the Tuscarora Daffodil Group held it’s 86th Daffodil Show in Chambersburg, PA. Hosts Mitch and Kate Carney are thanked for the hospitality and the great daffodil show. It was a chill in the air until about the time we finished judging, and then we had a fairly violent thunder storm with periods of heavy rain. However, we all had a great time. I took some pictures of some of the winners, and after driving out of the rain as I headed east on I-76 had a good trip home on dry highways.
