Blue Daze Flower

Dogwood trees are in memoriam

Mount Shasta resident Connie Marmet, right, steadies Jacqueline Parker's first place prize tulip so that her friend Alice Mortensen can see the intricate patterns inside. The Dunsmuir Garden Club's annual Dogwood Daze flower show drew a lighter crowd than usual this rainy Saturday, but the specimens displayed were as dazzling as ever. Best of Show went to Parker for her pink tulip. The People's Choice Award in the Flower Show went to Gaye Collins for her arrangement of clematis and candy tufts, and the People's Choice Award in the Art Show went to Diana Harryman for “Dogwood in Black and White.”    Today, 32 dogwood trees standing in memory, and in anticipation of inevitable memory, line Sacramento Avenue, four more color Children's Park, and a dozen adorn Hedge Creek Falls Park. Union Pacific gave permission to use the land. The city also contributed, and city worker Carl Morzenti especially pitched in, planting each tree after consulting with Petty on irrigation needs. This Memorial Day Saturday, with most of the town's dogwoods still in bloom, hundreds of tourists were reported visiting town, despite cool wind and scattered showers. The Pie Social sold out before 3 p.m, shoppers mobbed the Boxcar and new Sacramento Avenue gift store First Stop Dunsmuir along with our video store, Glass Garden Gifts, said they saw a marked increase in business.
