August 25-27, 2006

 

The Bluegrass Orchid Society hosted the Fall 2006 Mid-America Orchid Congress in conjunction with its own annual show.  And we were there.

People setting up, people admiring, people kibitzing, people working, people shopping, people holding or attending meetings, people fund-raising at the auction, people taking pictures, people having fun.

This was the Fall 2006 MAOC.
(This year August fell in the Fall :-)  It happens)
In 2007, the Spring MAOC is OURS!

 

 

But why travel to a wonderful venue like Lexington and not spend some time taking in the sights?

Horse country

Stay overnight in Shaker Village ... "We Make You Kindly Welcome"

Many of the more than a dozen restored buildings are now guest houses.
The Centre Family Dwelling ... 24,000 sq ft! Step back in time. Keep meticulous records. Just like your kitchen? :-))) A small dining area.
Keeping you company on your walks. Very friendly. Learned its name but didn't write it down and forgot. Sorry.
They grow their own broom corn ... and you can buy a Shaker broom in the gift shop. In the restaurant. I recommend the baked trout. One of two in the Shaker Village Trustees' Office. Morning mist. Stone fences everywhere, seemingly for miles and miles.
Twana, our docent, keeping her 3:00 pm appointment at the Meeting Hall.

Twana's performance of Shaker song and dance made the Meeting Hall reverberate. The highlight of the visit.

 

The "total show experience" includes the side trips.  Don't ever be in a hurry.
