'Orchids Are A Scream Returned' Oct. 23-24, 2021

  This orchid show featured 360 blooming orchids beautifully displayed by exhibitors from regional orchid societies, amateur hobbyists, and professional orchid growers; all centered around a Fall Halloween theme. Orchid related crafts and collectables were displayed as well. All orchids and exhibits were judged by American Orchid Society judges with eleven prestigious AOS national awards given.. Visitors  cast their votes for their favorite orchid exhibit in the show, the People's Choice Award, pictured above.  A wide variety of orchid plants and collectables were for sale by several regional vendors.  Volunteers answered questions about the orchids in the show and orchid culture. This show venue was family friendly and offered nearly 500 visitors an “up close and personal” view of some of nature's most exotic flowers, plus some Halloween fun! We hope to have our 9th show next year. View more about our 2021 'Orchids Are A Scream Returns' in the Nov. 2021 newsletter
