The Sunflower Fest was organized by Romney ON TRAC to encourage and recognize the efforts of our community in enhancing the local landscape and providing a quality environment for our city. Romney ON TRAC has made a commitment to sustainable development and improving the visual environment.
Goals of Sunflower Fest 2011 include a Garden Walk, including Residential and Commercial Gardens as well as 3 new categories, Community/Neighborhood Gardens, Young Gardener and Best Kept Vegetable Garden. This is a great beautification project that gets the community working together to make this happen.
Another Goal of Sunflower Fest 2011 is to raise awareness for our local charities by raising funds for designated charities through our Sunflower Art Auction and giving these charities a chance to share information and recruit volunteers at our event. Sunflower Fest encourages a sense of community spirit by bringing such an interesting and varied group together in this worthwhile endeavor. Lastly, we want to provide an entertaining weekend of activities for the community as we meet these goals.
