2026 Shirley Farmer Hybridizer Meetings Update

Hi Everyone, 

Our next Shirley Farmer Hybridizer Meeting is Saturday, March 28, 2026, at the Double Tree, (former Holiday Inn), Dayton/Fairborn I-675, 2800 Presidential Drive, Fairborn, OH 45324 Phone 937-426-7800. This is the “how to” meeting, but if you didn’t get to show your daylilies at the last meeting there will be time for you to do that.  As soon as you can, please send me your questions.  If you have information you would like to share with the group, please let me know.  The room will be available at 8:00 AM with the meeting starting at 8:15 AM. The link to the website is http://www.midwesthybridizers.com/

The cost is $50 per person which includes meeting costs, a buffet lunch of soup, salad, and wraps plus coffee, tea (hot & cold), soft drinks and water all day, and an afternoon cookie. Please make your check for $50.00 payable to Sandy Holmes at 1950 North Regent Park Dr., Bellbrook, OH 45305. Phone 937-287-8122.

Friday night we will have dinner at 7 PM at the hotel restaurant. If you would like to join us for dinner on Friday evening, please let me know in advance so that we will have enough tables. Since many people leave right after the meeting, we don’t have anything planned for dinner.  There are lots of places to choose from and none take reservations.  We can talk about this at the meeting.

We will continue to have space in the back of the room for anyone wishing to trade or sell a small number of daylily/garden products. Please try to arrive at or before 8 AM if you would like to participate. 

Please confirmation your attendance by Friday March 20th because I must confirm the number for lunch and we pay by the head. 

You can reach me at ohiodaylily@yahoo.com. 

Hope you can join us.

Sandy Holmes
