IPE Exhibition in Armstrong
Aug 31 - Sept 4 When the Interior Provincial
Exhibition decided to go floral for its theme this
year, who better to offer their assistance than
Communities in Bloom In addition to the help
from the provincial office (BC CiB) and local CiB
communities; nurseries and greenhouse from
the area worked to beautify the grounds with
displays throughout the fair.
Going a step further, IPE organizers wanted to

FACINATOR (royal wedding inspired hair
ornaments).
The IPE was a floral extravaganza from its
grounds to its participants...Way to Grow!
