Each year we gather up a big supply of flowers and plant material from our gardens and supplement that collection by purchasing some additional flowers! Then we gather up a supply of floral containers, floral tape, floral oasis and laminated instructions on various arrangement designs and have loads of fun helping all ages who show up to "make a floral arrangement" to enter in a Flower Show! The line forms quickly and long at the designated start time of 6 PM. I was so amazed at the 5 yr olds and 6 yr olds who created stunning designs! They stood right next to the adults and calmly put together beautiful arrangements to enter! What a fun experience watching the activity and joy of the designers at work!
The next morning judges come in to evaluate and award ribbons to the winners in the various skill levels and categories!
I need to get back to the fair to get some pictures of the winning arrangements before Sunday when they come back to the fair to claim their arrangements, ribbons and prize money!
