Once again all the hard work of growing show stopping veggies and flowers meets a place to show them off -- The Country Fair.


This year Neil submitted 137 entries from the Salish gardens.

  • 72 Agriculture entries — resulted in 60 blue, 12 red ribbons
  • 65 Floral entries -- resulted in 48 blue, 13 red, 4 white ribbons


Doug wasn't able to give his ribbon amounts but his Walla Walla Onions took the "Oh Wow!" award.
