Walworth County Fair Dahlia Competition - Horticulture Building - September 2026
Over the weekend, we spent part of a day at the Walworth County Fair up in Elkhorn, Wisconsin . Eating corn dogs, seeing the 4-K kids with their animals. Watching the horseback barrel races. And, of course...spending some time in the Horticulture Building. Looking at the cut flowers. The two categories that I'm most interested in seeing are (of course) dahlias. And Zinnias. Here, below, is a look at some of the dahlia entries: I believe that the stems have to be in place about mid-week. So, these are 3-4-or-5 days old by the time that we see them. So, they're on their way out in terms of vase-life. Can I say something? Am I wrong?
