AHS Region 3 Summer Regional Meeting 2010

TidewaterDaylily Society Will Host the Region 3 Summer Meeting
Norfolk Virginia
A Decade of Daylilies
June 25 - 27, 2010

www.tidewaterdaylilysociety.com

The Tidewater Daylily Society of Hampton Roads is excited to be the host of the 2010 Summer Regional Meeting in Norfolk, VA. The area boasts many exciting attractions with beaches and the Norfolk Botanical Gardens. We will tour the beautiful gardens of Rich and Rikki Sterrett and Buck Fox on the Eastern Shore. We will enjoy a wonderful lunch at the Eastville Inn before heading over to Virginia Beach to see what Gretchen Fisher and Yvonne Leonard have on display in their gardens. Yvonne is also hosting the Dan Tau Seedling Bed and it pomises to be fantastic.

The event will be held at the Norfolk Airport Hilton which is central to all the activities, tour gardens and open gardens. Additionally, we will be holding a progressive daylily raffle for early registrants; so the sooner you register the sooner you will be entered into our drawing for some great collections of daylilies. The first drawing will be for a collection of "cupcake" daylilies.

Visit www.tidewaterdaylilysociety.com for more information

We will have silent and live auctions and the speaker for the event is Tim Herrington who promises to be very informative and entertaining as he speaks about his collections and his hybridizing techniques and goals. Finally, we will also hold judges clinics. Anyone wishing to participate should sign up at the time of registration.

For added convenience, there is an online registration page that can be accessed at the bottom of this page. Traditional registration forms will be available in the next FANFARE.

We look forward to seeing everyone there!!
