Coleman County Fiesta
de la Paloma
RESULTS FROM CONTESTS
TOWN AND COUNTRY
GARDEN CLUB FLOWER SHOW RESULTS
10/20/2008
The Miller Building was filled with sights and sounds of
a celebration on Saturday, October 4, during the Garden
Club’s salute to Coleman County’s Sesquicentennial and
Fiesta de la Paloma. The theme
“Westward
the Women” was depicted in six classes of design and
seven classes of horticulture, all named for pioneer
women who played a vital role in Coleman County, circa
1858. It was especially rewarding to have such an
enthusiastic crowd of visitors who came not only from
Coleman County, but also surrounding areas, and as far
away as the Metroplex. Show co-chairmen Jane Padgitt and
Nan Markland express their sincere thanks to all the
Town and Country Garden Club members who participated in
the show, and especially to the community who continue
to support the Club by their attendance and interest our
shows.
