This Show is always the ‘party’ show that ends the season for most of us in the eastern midwest . While the last shows in the far north and far northeast come a week later, this is our final hurrah. Sad for sure, but we look for the next season to reconvene and see friends again. The exciting thing here is that Matt Duddy was able to get his 1st Quinn award. Congrats Matt! This is usually a small show where everyone pitches in who shows up. It was good to see so many people this time.
Sadly, this is my final post for this show season. I hope you all enjoyed the sampling of ADS winning blooms from shows around the eastern midwest and Convention. We will happily look forward to next years spring time celebration of natures bounty.

Hi, Tom, can you tell us about that Throck? Whose is it and did it win a blue? There are a lot of fun, interesting flowers there we don’t usually see in a show collection, but what fun!
Hi Becky. I must be missing something as there were no Throckmorton collections shown here for Joes Show. Is there something else I’m missing?
Think it was the national show maybe. Steve Hampson ?
