Hi Everybody,
This is
an official reminder that the Great Hosta Photo Contest closes tonight at
midnight CST (HostaLibrary time). Today is your last chance to improve your
position in the standings. The last week has seen a furious battle for the lead
from our two hard-working Ohio Girls. I guess they don't do things small
out there in the Buckeye State. Sensational new rookie Karen Butner has taken on
top hosta photo veteran Carol Brashear in a fight to the finish. New Wade
employee Karen responded to famous last-minuteer Carol's bold lead-grabbing
entry of 101 new photos with 34 more of her own and closed the lead to only
27, but before she could get her batteries charged again Carol sent in
another 40. It's looking like that may be too much for Karen. Does she have
one more ace up her sleeve, or is she out of hostas to photograph? Today
will tell.
Another
battle is shaping up for positions 6,7,8, and 9. Recent additions by rising
hosta photo talent Alttara Scheer moved her quietly past snoozing Mike Ewald
into a tie with Kent Terpening for the # 7 spot. But sharp-eyed Kent was
watching and responded quickly with another burst to put him 7 ahead and only 3
shy of a resting Bev Stegeman for the # 6 position. Will they finish that way?
Or do they have a few more we haven't seen yet? Are there any hostas left
to photograph?

1. Carol in
