With approximately 500 entries, the Iola Garden Club’s flower show in Memorial Hall yesterday drew visitors from a dozen Kansas counties and a sizable delegation from Kansas City. This was the organization’s second annual show. Mrs. Mary Sewell, won the sweepstakes, taking first place in flower arrangements and cut flowers. She also was chairman of the committee in charge. The exhibits illustrated various frontier themes in keeping with this year’s observance of the Kansas Centennial. Iola has been chosen as the site for a future district flower show, Mrs. Slawson said this morning.
