Paris Horticultural Society ends year with dinner and awards

The Paris Horticultural Society’s awards dinner was held Dec. 6th at the Paris Fairgrounds. The Christmas dinner was served by the Homecraft division. After dinner, members were entertained by guitarist, Steve Ashton. Steve’s zest for entertaining was infectious and he soon had many singing and clapping along. The Society’s co-presidents, Carol Reansbury and Patti Gladding, presented the year’s awards. President’s Awards went to Anne Vernon for her planning and organizing the popular Garden Tour. Pat Hasler-Watts was recognized for organizing the club’s monthly competition for the past six years (and has decided to take a break for now). The third President’s award went to Pat Moore who runs the successful, and often sold out, annual plant sale and flower show every spring.
