The Old Dominion and Potomac Chrysanthemum Societies are hosting the 2018 National Show at the Sheraton Reston Hotel in Reston, Virginia, and the National Chrysanthemum Society (NCS) is hosting the Convention at the same venue. It has only been three years since we were in the Washington, D.C. area for our national event. Our 2015 show was memorable for the many baskets and vases that thrilled our visitors as they entered the show room. We are again excited to be able to host the annual event and look forward to a large turnout of members, guests, and show entries. We are especially excited since this is our 75th annual show. There will be tours of Montpelier, the home of James Madison, and of the National Arboretum, an awards banquet, and more. Discounted reservations may be made prior to Friday, October 5 for $139 per night, including breakfast, single OR double occupancy.
