We will have two judges ready to provide feedback on all the entries. Bring water bottles or small vases to exhibit your roses. There will be at least one hour at the beginning of the program to prep and enter your roses. The business meeting will be shortened to provide time for the show. The list of exhibition classes will be shared at the August meeting.
