We had a great time helping with the Festival of Flowers May 4, supporting the Friends of the Jefferson Library raise money to build a new library building.  Flowers, entertainment and food, along with a 5K/10K walk event helped bring many new faces to our town.

The Jefferson Area Chamber helped sponsor the event and had a presence there with a display booth, giveaways, and several chamber members staffing their own booths.

The Greater Jefferson Community Center had its doors open for a rummage sale, and the Jefferson Rural Fire department helped out with logistics.

It was good to see the Jefferson High School students perform music from their school play, "Guys and Dolls" as well as the jazz choir Harmonix, Jazz Band and Pep Band.  Thanks to Christina Kramer and Jill Hickenlooper for participating!

The Party Time Band added a country music flavor to the event:  Thank you Eddie and Gracie Delk!
And most of all: thank you Mother Nature for a beautiful day on which to celebrate the umpteenth Festival of Flowers!
