2012 AWARDS BANQUET

The Utah Dahlia Society Awards Banquet 

was held on October 10th at the Granger Christian Church which is the home to our 

Demonstration Garden.

We had frost in most of the Salt Lake Valley recently but luckily most of our garden was saved for this special event.

Thanks to Bill Hughes for most of the photos in this post and for his presentation of

 The National Show and Swan Island's Dahlia Festival.

Also, thanks to Megan Badger for arranging for the delicious Chinese Food, tablecloths, and the great trophies that were awarded.

 Steve LeCheminant and David Ross had time before the dinner and awards to check out the garden.
