Megan said it all when she wrote:
Hard to believe that our Dahlia Show has come and gone already. What a fantastic array of gorgeous dahlias filled the garden center this weekend. Thanks to all who came, entered and judged. It was a wonderful event surrounded by an amazing variety of forms and colors.
In other show news we have our photo winners for the calendar contest: Congratulations to Bill Hughes, Ryan & Julie Williams, Jan Litster, Karen Crook, Mark Hurst and Megan Badger.
We also are proud to announce the winner of this year's People's Choice Award.... Larry Stevens won by popular vote for his beautiful entry of Bodacious.
Congratulations Larry for bringing such a spectacular bloom.
In other show-related news, we are sad to say goodbye to Nick Spencer as our Show Chairman. Since the very start of our group, Nick has been in charge of the show. As they say... "all good things must come to an end" and Nick is ready for a change. We wish him well. His wealth of 'Dahlia' knowledge, his attention to detail and his kindness to all; made Nick a perfect show chairman. So thank you, thank you, thank you Nick for all you have done for the Utah Dahlia Society.
