Poinsettia Show Video
I found this blog about the show...
Glick’s Greenhouse Poinsettia Show. This may not sound too exciting, but trust me, it is. In addition to a massive display of 10,000 poinsettias—including the latest varieties—Glick’s always has a themed show with judged entries from local goups and businesses. Last year, the theme was wreaths celebrating Route 66, including one memorable wreath made from old license plates. This year, the theme is Celtic: Christmas in a Castle. Live Celtic music and dancing and free food (hot, fresh popcorn, PA Dutch hotdogs with all the trimmings, including sauerkraut and relish, cider, and beyond), and free admission make this event a must-see. Besides poinsettias, Glick’s has an extensive selection of perennials, houseplants, water-garden plants, and wreaths available for sale at great prices. Silence and I have bought our Christmas wreath at Glick’s for the past three years—the quality and price simply can’t be beat. We’re looking forward to getting this year’s wreath tomorrow. Glick’s is hosting its poinsettia show today (Friday), Saturday, and Monday. Check it out, and get hours, directions, and an entertainment schedule, at www.glicksgreenhouse.com.
________________________________________________________________We had a successful show. Some 7,650 people toured the greenhouse.
The theme was wonderful.People love the live music,popcorn and hot dogs...
it is a fun family activity that is free.
I shot a video on Sunday afternoon to walk through with the video camera.This video took me forever to make and it is crappy and pixelated...sorry,
maybe I can get a better version uploaded later.
The video uploaded better on Facebook,

@angi1972 - After the show they go back to the greenhouses,they all go out to churches ,retail etc.
That's really neat! Looks like a fun time.

Wonderful... what a nice tour you gave.
Thanks for a good show! My wife and especially my 86 year old MIL enjoyed the singing and piano playing!! She was sitting there spellbound. Very welcome to get out of the house for a change.

It was great looking at all your hard work. I hope you all get a little rest this winter.
Looks fantastic. I really like the portraits along the first hallway. Everybody should have those.
Fabulous video Beth!!
It was almost like being there. Thanks so much for making this and uploading it for all of us to see. 
PS: How is your mom?
That was fun to see Beth. You guys deserve to take a day or two of rest now!!
AWESOME! I'm so sorry I don't live closer, and would have gotten to see it in person, so the video makes it even better! Tell Mildred Hi from MO... we miss you both!
I really really really enjoyed the video. It is so comforting to hear your voice. What a splendid job you all did. I bet every one of your visitors had a memerable experience. I'm so impressed
I loved the video and thank you for sharing it with us. What you think as "not so great" was wonderful and gave us a real feel of the show. Again thank you.
Thanks for doing the video........it was so cool. I'm going to watch it again, and show my husband too. Wish we lived closer and could come.
Oh thank you Beth~ this was so much fun being able to walk through your castle with you~ and Cider. Thank you!!
Your family is simply awesome. I would soooo love to be able to come see your green house.
Loved hearing your voice again.
Good video. Gorgeous presentation of the flowers.
neat-O!
How wonderful! Thank you for the tour! I wanted to see King Dave sitting on his throne! LOL! I can imagine it was quite a day with that many people! WOW! Where on earth did you park all the cars? Did you sell lots of poinsettias?
That was great! I wish I was there!
@DanishDoll - The field next to the greenhouse goes way back and people park therewe did hae good sales,sold lots of poinsettias and planters.
Could you please ask King Dave how to keep poinsettias alive? Mine start dropping leaves as soon as they come in the door, and in about a week, I have to throw them out. I have tried little water, more water, keeping them moist all the time.... sigh. They just don't LIKE me!
It is the glory of the Poinsettia . It is a beautiful flower. I hear much of it all around

Love
@DanishDoll - Not too hot,not too wet,good light.
wow you did alot of work and it's wonderful as every year is!
Wow!! That looks really cool, we're so sorry we missed seeing and working the show this year. We're determined not to miss next year. That sounds like a record number of people.
That was such a joy to see. Wish I could be there in person some year. I was so impressed, I shared with it with others. My non xanga friend called and was so happy I sent her the link. She was very impressed..Love ya...
That is simply amazing! I can see all the hours upon hours of work that must have been. I think my favorite thing was the portraits! They were fascinating to see. Thanks for giving us the tour!
If you ever quit photography, you might have a great skill in narrating things. I loved the tour.
Looks like a wonderful time! I wish I lived close enough to go!
*sparkle
So neat! I enjoy the castle theme!
Your amazing Beth!
What a fabulous tour. Thanks Beth. I love the portraits. The flowers are spectacular. Have a wonderful, colorful season of love and joy. (pats heart and points to you)
One day I hope to' take it all in' in person! Thanks for sharing!
