Floral Association of the Rockies Designer Competition! March 2009

I was awarded 2nd place in the People's Choice Award from competing in The Floral Association of the Rockies Designer of the Year Competition. This is the first major competition I have participated in throughout my career. It was a wonderful opportunity to create designs right along side well known designers that have been in the industry for years. This was a wonderful learning experience, challenging, heart racing, but very rewarding. The award I received was placed based on the public votes in Douglas County and the Home and Garden Show, held at the Event Center in Castle Rock, Colorado!

The People's Choice event, held on Sunday as part of the Garden Showcase at the Douglas County Event Center, was very popular this year, Over 1000 votes were cast! The top three - Congratulations! 1st Place - Erica Rasmussen, Bouquets, Denver $100.00 cash prize from the Garden and Outdoor Living Showcase, and a framed certificate. 2nd Place - Sarah Tedford, Ladybird Poppy, Denver 3rd Place - Franklin Mera, Artistic Flowers, Denver

Thank you all for your encouragement and support!
