A Message from the Bowling Green Rose Society President
W E L C O M E . . .
As president of the Bowling Green Rose Society, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome each of you to our annual rose show and extend a special thank you to all exhibitors for sharing your beautiful roses with us. The work and dedication needed to produce such beautiful roses is greatly appreciated. For those traveling from out of town, you’ve truly gone the extra mile!
As always, I want to welcome and thank those individuals who through many years of hard work, dedication and training have acquired the skills necessary to become rose show judges. In sharing your expertise, you promote the excitement of competition and further educate exhibitors in the art of showing roses.
Our rose show would not be successful without the cooperative effort of many people in the community. We greatly appreciate the financial support of our sponsors and the use of the American Legion Post 23 facility. I would especially like to thank BGRS members, family and friends for their hours of work before, during and after the show.
For those from the community who have honored us with your presence to view the eautiful display of roses, I thank you and would like to take this opportunity to invite you to become a member of the Bowling Green Rose Society. If you have any questions, feel free to talk with any BGRS member.
Enjoy the show!
Linda Ford, BGRS President
