Dahlia Challenge is happening!
Since there seems to be enough interest, we have decided to go ahead with the Dahlia Challenge.
We ask club members to bring their dahlias to St. James’s on Saturday, September 11, between 9-10 am.
Deirdre Penland will be there to help orient you.
• There you will fill out an entry card for the dahlia challenge. Each dahlia will get a number and the entry card will have a place for the name of the dahlia and/or a description. Your name will be on the back of the card, so as not to influence the vote.
• Dahlias will be displayed in clear glass or plastic vessels. If you have some water or soda bottles to donate to the Dahlia Challenge, please give them to Deirdre at the Board or General meeting, or bring them to St. James’s on Friday between 2-4 on September 10.
• During the tour, people will be asked to vote for their favorite dahlia.
The three most popular dahlias will be announced at the party on Sunday, September 12. Prizes are: $25 gift certificates from garden shops.
At the end of the day, on Saturday, Sharon Mulvey will pick the dahlia’s up for use as decoration at the party.
