In the picture above is one of the hundreds of floral arrangements which filled the Methodist church bascment. Shown placing the flowers is Mrs. Ralph Bauer who, along with Mrs. Paul Snakenberg, made up the placement committee for the annual event. General chairman of the show was Mrs. Lester Orr and she was assisted by Mrs. B.F.
