What was checked & what still needs confirmation

Original October 1 start retained. America250 theme and current dated calendar corroborate2026. Voting ends before the display. Not a new contest-entry opportunity. YEAR REVIEW: event date line omits numeric year. Current seasonal-exhibitions page explicitly labels ArBOOretum Month October 1–31, 2026 and current October homepage links this event; assigning this specific day to 2026 also uses weekday alignment. This is a documented inference; confirm with organizer before attendance.
