North Carlina State asked J to give a presentation at their convention. J was happy to do a program on the John Henry Prom and Homecoming Flowers book. Everyone went back to their stores armed with great information.

J was lucky enough to have models for his Prom and Homecoming Flowers show - at left Beverly's son, Morgan and Katie - at right. They both did such a nice job and were fun to work with!!

J was asked to be a judge for the floral miniatures competition at the convention - the theme was Through the Years. The beautiful timepieces at left took first place. A re-creation of the Hindenberg in floral miniature was also an amazing piece of detail work.

J had a chance to catch up with WF&FSA President Billy Hardin of Hardin's Wholesale. At right, J shares a moment with Els Teunissen, who had a wonderful presentation as well. Els showed the crowd how to get their shops noticed with spectacular window displays.
