I went, had a great time, spent too much as usual.

Kathie S encouraged me to enter in the seedling contest and I got a first place and best of section! Pretty exciting stuff for a newbie :wink:

Sorry, can't upload photos yet... when life gets less hectic I'll work on that.

Missed you lots, Kent! Was too darn busy to take good pictures... sorry. Will see what I can dig out later. A sport of Fireworks won Best Sport as determined by the AHS judges and the attendees. A seedling by Alttara won the Best seedling as determined by the attendees and a cool edged hosta with leaves that curled under entered by Chick Wasitis won the Best Seedling as determined by the AHS judges.

We had a record number of attendees this year and a great time was had by all. Next year is in MA!!!!!!
Cheers~

Record First Look attendance

Kent, a record number of people showed up only because they heard you weren't going to be there, and they'd have a chance to win something.
