It is getting so exciting as each day draws us closer to the 1st Annual Colorado Lavender Festival --- July 16 and 17, 2011.
As you can see the Vendor Committee members have had their morning coffees and are ready to finalize the vendor application form. It is now posted on the LAWC website. So anyone who is interested in having a food or craft booth on Saturday the 16th must have the application to the committee by March 15th. http://www.coloradolavender.org/.
The farm tours will take place the next day, Sunday, the 17th. A special treat for the vendors is that they can change their "vendor" hat for their "festival-goer" hat and join the bus tour of the beautiful lavender farms in the area. Vendors usually can't enjoy the festival in full because they are busy selling their wares and then closing up on the final day. But this time they'll be able to actually enjoy the second day of the Festival if they like. I am really looking forward to the Sunday farm tour. Not only will I see that most beautiful of sights -- lavender growing in the fields -- but also will have time to leisurely chat with other vendors. That will be nice.
The Vendor Committee is only one of many committees that are doing their part to make this Festival a memorable event. It takes so many committed individuals (no wait - that happens after the event) ... dedicated people to put on a superb event of this size and scope. I'm so happy to be a part of the Lavender Association because I am working along side some extremely talented and experienced people including those at the CSU Extension Office.
Be sure to put the dates on your calender. And visit the website at http://www.coloradolavender.org/. Don't forget to check out Curt Swift's blog at http://swiftsgardeningblog.blogspot.com/ because it is full of useful articles about the wonderful world of gardening. It's just about this time of year -- when the temps are freezing, the snow is piling up and the trees are bare -- that you can life your spirits by taking a few minutes to think about your gardening plans for the upcoming spring. 1/16/11
