What else is there to know about the Fillmore Flower Show happening April 26 and 27? There are several divisions that are specifically for youth. Division IX is Youth Arrangements which is open to any youth, from any area. Flower displays are limited to 20 inches by 20 inches. They are to be arranged at the show without adult help. The arrangements must be completed by 10:00 a.m. so the judges can judge. Arrangements may have a variety of flowers and plants that may include items appropriate to the scene. Remember, the theme this year is “Fillmore Spirit in Bloom”. Youth arrangements will be judged by age levels. Division X is Youth Composition. Youth may submit a poem or short essay on a single page, with or without illustration on the theme: “Fillmore Spirit in Bloom”. There is a small cash prize for the winner.

Division XI is non-competitive Youth Art which is original artwork on the flower show theme “Fillmore Spirit in Bloom”.

Our youth are extremely talented and creative. We hope to have many entries in all categories. While these divisions are exclusively for youth, youth may enter any adult division also. Bring entries to 533 Santa Clara Street in Fillmore between 7:30-10:00a.m. Saturday morning April 26. The Flower Show is open to the public for viewing Saturday and Sunday from 1-4:00p.m. The flower show is FREE to enter and FREE to view. Plan to bring something to exhibit and plan to view the spirit of Fillmore at the flower show! See fillmoreflowershow.org for complete information.
