KITSAP COUNTY DAHLIA SOCIETY (KCDS)

86th Annual Show

August 7 & 8, 2010

Pavilion - Kitsap County Fairgrounds, Silverdale

NOTE THIS CHANGE: This years show is being moved from the Presidents' Hall at Kitsap Fairgrounds to the Pavilion at the Fairgrounds.  Fortunately, the buildings are next to each other, the Pavilion is to the right of the parking lot in front of Presidents' Hall.  You can park in the same parking lot if you wish, there is a paved walkway to the Pavilion - but it is down a slight hill - or, you can park in the Pavilion's parking lot.  If you choose the Pavilion parking lot, drive past the front of the building and around the back to be closest to the entrance.  We will be using the back half of the Pavilion.

Everything else remains the same - such as times and help needed.
