"People's Choice" for BEST Booth at Clallam County Fair 2009 in Ag Barn

What a SURPRISE to receive a check for $40.00 in the mail yesterday. The Garden's booth at the Fair was the winner of the "People Choice" as the Best Booth in the Ag. Barn! The booth wasn't even listed on the voting form. Folks wanted to know "Why not?" Had no answer for them. They wanted to know if they could write it in?! Sure!! So, we started telling everyone to write "Jan's Country Garden" in on the bottom of the voting form and to "Vote for Us!" Well, lo and behold, the booth won!

On Monday the garden got frosted pretty good. On Tuesday night it was 26º on our back deck. All the dahlia leaves turned black. I started cutting the dahlias down on Wednesday--4 rows. Today I cut down another six rows--that's 500 feet of dahlias.
