The top winner was Ron Agge who took home not only the Best of Show (a beautiful Cattleya), but also was given the Cultural Award for awards in all the various categories. A man of many talents, his interests have grown from concentrating on Phalaenopsis to growing several of the most popular varieties. Congratulations, Ron!!
But most of all, congratulations and thanks to the many officers and members of the society for their hard work in bringing all of the facets of the event together.
