Did you know that the Fillmore Flower Show has been a tradition since 1919? Even though there have been years that the flower show did not happen, like during war years and when there were not enough volunteers to hold the show, it has been a beloved event in Fillmore. The show this year on April 13 and 14 will celebrate 100 years of flowers.
