Blue ribbons, red ribbons and white ribbons
It's Founders Hall at Bluffton College in the 1950s. You are viewing the Bluffton Men's Garden Club annual flower show. If you look close enough Kermit Herr is probably somewhere in the crowd.
During its day, this annual show could rival the entries in the Allen County Fair flower show.
Paul Diller took this photo and Jim Diller shares it with the Icon.
Several things to notice, changed from today:
• The brick walls have yet to be painted.
• Check out the original scoreboard
• Does that curtain still exist?
• Icon viewer observations are welcome
