FIFTIETH HOME & GARDEN SHOW

This years first prize goes to Mr. & Mrs. H. L. Maxwell Hopewell Goodwell XIV. This spectacular garden will be open the second Tuesday of every week from 2 to 4. Security guards will prevent viewing at any other times!
Second prize was awarded to Bill "Icicle" Warden, winter sports enthusiast, for his pink snowball bush. This spectacular, bright hybrid has been the cause of several nocturnal accidents this season involving joggers, bicyclists, and motorists as this huge bush glows in the dark!

Third prize was awarded to Chainsaw Harry for his many many many many many attempts to create artistic forms in his own private forest garden. Splits, slabs, splinters, and stability are very difficult to overcome when trying to force one piece of wood through another at high speed. The impact creates an equal and opposite reaction which varies greatly with each attempt. However the "mistakes" are added to the winter's woodpile so little effort is actually wasted. With such determination, Harry is sure to be a leading contender for next year's contest. We all wish him the best in his pursuit of this truly native form of greenery!
Mr. I. M. A. Thrush, a hermit, won the most exceptional house award again this year. He has won every year since the structure's completion 34 years ago.. When notified of his winning the coveted award, he responded with the four letter word "GOOD". Today's zoning regulations do not allow such a daring structure to be built so Mr. Thrush should easily continue to win this yearly award!
An Honorable Mention was awarded to Billy and Billie Williams for their identical twin frogs perched upon a verdant green lily pad. Next year there will be a new category: Garden Pets! BE SURE TO COMPETE NEXT YEAR! Many thanks to the 56 judges and the 4,759.2 hours they contributed!
