SCOS Picnic & Auction at Carolina Orchids -- May 5, 2007


Our annual picnic and auction was help on Saturday, May 5, at Carolina Orchids in Fort Mill, South Carolina. As usually Tom and Shan were excellent hosts. Shan provided the main dish of her famous brisket and society members brought side dishes and desserts. We had an excellent crowd for the main event as several members from North Carolina Piedmont, Western North Carolina and Deep South Orchid Societies joined us. Special thanks to Tom and David Janvrin, our auctioneers. We raised an excellent and much needed $1500. Please check out the gallery for photos of the day.

A little cooking going on as Sandy, Bertha and Finley chat while Shan and Shotze cook.
