Hi Vince,

Getting enough people to enter our shows is always a problem and this year 
was especially bad with everything blooming so early.  We always bring a lot 
of entries just so there will be something for the public to see.  Of course 
that upsets the people who bring a half dozen stalks, because we always win 
sweepstakes.  If they would bring more, we could stop killing ourselves 
trying to make a show.  I am always so jealous when I hear about shows having 
to limit the numbers of entries because they get too many.  Keep on entering 
your specimens even though they are not good enough for ribbons.  Someone 
appreciates them.
