The 48th Annual LCDS Dahlia Show -It's a Wrap!


On the weekend of September 17-18th, the Lane County Dahlia Society held its 48th Annual Dahlia Show at the Wheeler Pavilion, at the Lane County Fairgrounds. We had over 40 exhibitors from Oregon & Washington stage and enter 1,500+ dahlia blooms, baskets, and arrangements. The building was ablaze with color and beauty.


After a whole morning spent judging and narrowing down the best of the best, the Head Table was soon displaying the top dahlias. The beautiful mass arrangement on top of the Head Table was created by Eleanor Shantz.


The Best 1-bloom fully double in Show - "Pop Willo" from Tiffany Boatwright


The Best 1-Bloom Disc Center in Show - "FV's Dainty" by Max & Marie Ollieu


Best 3-Bloom Fully Double in Show - "Peach Delight" by Wayne Shantz


Best 3-Bloom Disc Center in Show - "Midnight Star" by Wayne Lobaugh


Best Basket in Show - "Fidalgo Julie" by Christy Parks


Best Arrangement in Show - "Two to Tango" by Sherry Cossey


One of the highlights of our show this year was the arrangement category in honor of our late member Alfretta Spores. The arrangements were to use blooms in the colors of pink & purple and we were thrilled with the number of folks who entered. It was such a lovely tribute to a wonderful lady.

Lastly, Cheryle Hawkins, our Show Chair and Michael Canning ,our Judges Chair with their winning triple entry of "Nick Senior". Well done!
