2026 Shirley Farmer Hybridizer Meetings Update

Hi Everyone,

The Shirley Farmer Hybridizer Meeting is Saturday, November 7th at the Double Tree by Hilton, 2800 Presidential Drive, Fairborn, OH 45324 Phone 937-426-7800. This is our pictures meeting so get together pictures of your favorite new seedlings and intros to share with the group. Since lots of people are presenting, please stick to discussion of your pictures rather than your hybridizing program. We will have lots of pictures to cover. Please let me know about how many pictures or how much time you will need so that we can plan the day.

The room will be available at 8:00 AM with the meeting starting at 8:30 AM. Even if you don’t plan to show anything, I think you will enjoy the show.

The meeting cost is $48 per person which includes meeting, a buffet lunch of soup, salad, and wraps plus coffee, tea (hot & cold), soft drinks and water all day. Don’t forget the afternoon cookie. Please make your check for $48.00 payable to Sandy Holmes at 1950 North Regent Park Dr., Bellbrook, OH 45305 Phone 937-287-8122.

Sleeping rooms are $139 per night. Use this link to book your room https://www.hilton.com/en/attend-my-event/shirleyfarmersmwdaylily-nov26/ You must book by October 7th to get the rate. Several out of town people have already indicated they are coming so you should book soon to get the reduced rates.

I hope that you can join us for dinner at 7 PM in the Double Tree restaurant on Friday evening. Please let me know in advance so that we will have enough tables.

There will be tables at the back of the room for anyone wishing to trade or sell a small number of daylily/garden products. Please try to arrive before 8 AM to set up if you want to sell anything.

Please confirmation your attendance at least a week in advance because I must confirm the number for lunch and we pay by the head. The sooner you can let me know the better. You can reach me at ohiodaylily@yahoo.com. Please DO NOT use my old Gmail account.

I look forward to seeing you soon,

Sandy Holmes
