The theme for the 48th annual celebration was "Let's Light Up Paducah and Support Our Troops". With early blooming this year, the judging took place in late March. Each of the 12 winning homes has a sign in the front yard. Photos of the winners can be found on the City's website, www.paducahky_gov. A flag also was presented to Boy Scout Troop 1 for its flag fundraising program during the Dogwood Trail Celebration. The CBB also presented a check in the amount of $372 to Carolyn Roof who was representing the garden clubs of Noble Park. The money was raised during the recent dogwood tree sale held at five local nurseries. More than 150 dogwoods were sold at the sale held March 31. The funds will be used to plant dogwoods for the Children's Memorial Garden located at Noble Park near the pool. The Open Gate Garden Club started the memorial in 1996 by planting 19 dogwoods in memory of the 19 children killed in the Oklahoma City bombings. Over the years, nearly all of the dogwoods have died.
