Today was the annual Mid-Winters, sponsored by the Penn/Jersey District Rose Society. I will usually try to attend this. It is also one of the more major photo contests that I enter.The entire day was wonderful with guest speakers, slide shows and general socialization with other rose growers from around the East Coast. Frank Benardella and Clarence Rhodes (two headliners in the rose world) were there as well as other renown rosarians from around the East Coast. While there I got the book Otherwise Normal People by Aurelia C. Scott. It is so far signed by Aurelia Scott and Clarence Rhodes. A very nice day.
Dinner was quite excellent with a choice of chicken or beef with roasted potatoes and green beans w/carrots. Annoucements were made at dinner as well as the raffle and door prizes. It was also the time when the winners of the photo contest were announced.
At the very end, my name was called for winning Best In Show for my photo of Summer Fashion. This was quite an honor for me to win this event. The trophy was several wonderful gifts.
It was a very good day indeed.

Hi Julie,
Gayle e-mailed me that JR and Donna won some of the raffle prizes but she didn't mention that you won BEST OF SHOW - WOW! Congratulations. I didn't stay for dinner. It was great seeing you and hubby. Again, congratulations and see you in March at Anna's.
