Bay Rose Society's
30th Annual Rose Show
May 8, 2010
Congratulations to all the hardworking MBRS members for another successful rose show! We all breathed a sigh of relief because the weather was perfect with nary of breath of wind to topple our vases, and we had a sizeable entry in spite of the absence of some of our most prolific exhibitors. We welcomed several new member exhibitors, Pat Williams and Julia Skelton to their first show experience and two non-member exhibitors, Quinn Cordero and Adrian Parnian, all of whom did very well with their entries.
This year, we tried something different by opening the show to the public at 12 noon, thus giving the judges plenty of time to do their work without interference. Once the gates opened to the public, we saw a steady flow of flower enthusiasts come through our tent. In addition to the rose show, Alladin Nursery provided a wine tasting, a rock 'n roll band for entertainment, an art show and several food vendors of apricot goodies and local sausages.
A special thank you again to Gustavo and his staff at Alladin Nursery for their unwavering help! Also thank you to our excellent judges: Alice Affleck, Harry Dedini, Jennifer Galli, Barbara Gordon, Ellie Longanecker, and Dr. Lakshmi Sridaran.
For a seond year in a row, Marge Callahan won the Best in Show
