51st Annual Dahlia Show Recap
The weekend of September 13-14, the Lane County Dahlia Society hosted its 51st Annual Dahlia Show at the Lane Events Center in Eugene, Oregon. We were thrilled to have exhibitors arrive from as far away as the southern Oregon coast as well as northern Washington. Once again, the lovely Head Table arrangement was done by Eleanor Shantz.
Besides the horticultural entries, our show also had a lovely display of basket entries.
Arrangements continue to grow in popularity each year.
Another view of the Head Table. Below is a recap of the 4 top blooms in the show as well as the top arrangement & basket. They are followed by all Head Table winners entered by a member of the Lane County Dahlia Society. Congratulations to everyone!
