Haugh greeted each guest and talked with them as they toured the lighted trail. The trolley passed several yards that proudly displayed signs for outstanding lighted dogwoods. Those who won last year were not eligible to receive recognition this year. Below are the winners along the 51st Dogwood Trail.

In addition to the ongoing trail, on Sunday, the Annual Dogwood Trail Bike Ride starts at 2:30 pm, leaving and ending at the BikeWorld parking lot, 809 Joe Clifton Dr. Participants can ride the entire 11 miles or any portion of the trail. Following the ride, a cookout on the parking lot is hosted by BikeWorld owners Martha and Hutch. All are welcome. BikeWorld provides the hot dogs and participants are welcome to bring side dishes. It's always a fun time.
Dogwood photographs and fine art are presently displayed in the Mayor's office in City Hall. The public is invited to view the exhibit Monday through Friday 8 am - 4 pm. The dogwood entries are part of the Mayor's Art Club exhibit and will be on display through the end of June.
