Dalry Flower Show 2007

The Glenkens Society Flower Show (believed to be the oldest Flower Show in the country) was held in Dalry Town Hall on Saturday 25th August.
Every class in the show was entered and at over 750 entries was a record entry.
As well as the number of exhibits, the quality of entries was outstanding and this was one of the best shows of recent years. The Hall was a riot of colour.
Local Councillor, George Prentice who stated that he was indeed very impressed with exhibits, which were outstanding for such a small community, opened the Show and was presented with a Pot Plant by Children's Section winner Olivia Wise.
