The Reception Committee takes care of registering the' visitors and the silver offering at the door and is on duty from the time the show is opened until it closes..
There is, naturally, much interest in the ribbons but some of the most interesting incidents are never known; such as, one man worked two whole days helping decorate the stage and it was suggested that he deserved a blue ribbon on merit. Later, he found the weathered wood lad won the tri-color while he was getting evergreens, and he was sporting the tri-color after the show. Some of the ladies stayed up until 3 a.m. making arrangements and decided it was worth the effort when they saw their ribbons. The school children paid twice as much attention to the bird houses, shadow boxes, and conservation exhibit put on by the Park Service than to the specimens and arrangements. Most husbands were more impressed by ribbons than hy the artistic perfection of the wives1 exhibits. Most people agreed that the loveliest sight was the white wheelbarrow filld with collections of perennials.
One hour’s dismantling by all available help ofter the close of the show, and two hours’ work by the Dismantling Committee the next morning took care of obliterating three months’ planning and work.—Contributed.
