The Fillmore Civic Pride Committee would like to extend to residents in the Fillmore Unified School District an invitation to participate in the 2017 Annual Fillmore Flower Show on April 8th and 9th, 2017. The theme this year is: “Birds, Bugs and Beautiful Blooms”. Bring entries to the Active Adult Center, 533 Santa Clara Street in Fillmore.

In addition to eight competitive divisions (Single Stem Cut Roses, Single Stem Cut Iris, Other Single Stem Cut Flowers, Bouquets, Arrangements, Miniature Arrangements and Bouquets, Potted Plants, Dish Gardens) there are two divisions especially for YOUTH.

Division IX—Youth Arrangements Flower displays limited to 20 inches by 20 inches, to be arranged at the show without adult help other than the youth show supervisor. Students are judged in three age categories and a team category.

Division X—Youth Composition Youth through grade 12 write and enter an original poem or short essay on a single page, with or without an illustration on the theme of the flower show, “Birds, Bugs and Beautiful Blooms”.

Fillmore is indeed a beautiful community! We hope many will participate in the Fillmore Flower Show again this year. Our young people sometimes need encouragement to create an entry. The theme this year seems especially exciting. We would appreciate anything you can do to help our youth step forward to demonstrate their talents.

Rules, time, location and many photographs of previous flower shows are on our website: fillmoreflowershow.com. For questions call: (805) 524-3021 or (805) 625-4354.
