The Fifth annual Fillmore Flower Show, to be held April 13-14, 2013, at the Fillmore Senior Center, 533 Santa Clara Street, Fillmore, California, 93015, with the theme, “Fiesta of Flowers”, recognizes the effort by Vision 20/20, Civic Pride Committee to bring back, yet again, this long valued community tradition of 75 years, with intermittent breaks for World War I, World War II and a break in the late nineties through 2008.
The Civic Pride Committee members were able to revive this well respected and well attended show in 2009 after searching through a treasure trove of information in the meticulously kept scrapbook belonging to Conway Spitler, who had been a chairman of the event, and by reviewing a scrapbook held at the Fillmore Historical Museum. Many community members also stepped forward to volunteer their expertise from previous years, their props & velvet drapes and their labor to bring the show back again each of these years.
The show is free and open to the public from 1-4 pm each day. A Garden Boutique with plants and door prizes will be available.
Musicians, Joy Asenas and Barry Cooper, will add ambience with lovely melodies on piano (Saturday) and guitar (Sunday).
Entry is open to all, but competitive entries are limited to residents of Fillmore Unified School District area which includes Piru, Bardsdale & west to the Little Red School House. Entries will be received Saturday morning from 7:30am to 10:30am. Youth entries are free and adult entries (unlimited) for $5.00.
