While recent dry weather cut down considerably the number of entries, it did not distract from the beauty that was shown in the various classifications at the annual Peninsula Arts association flower and garden show held at the village hall here Saturday and Sunday.

The show opened Saturday at noon after the judges had completed their task of awarding first, second, and honorable mention ribbons to a large number of entries. Particular mention should be made of the Herb Garden entered by Mrs. Arthur Byfield, Ephraim, for its completeness and novel arrangement; for the riot of color in the first prize flower group specimens entered by Mrs. Ed Dehos, Baileys Harbor; the table piece entered by Mrs. Donald H. Boynton, Baileys Harbor, and the novel and charming child exhibit by Peggy Wilson. This last named was fruits and vegetables formed into weird animals.
