By Tad Comeau, on April 21st, 2010 About a year ago Festival began a partnership with Krueger Wholesale Florists. Since then, Krueger has been supplying us with all of our fresh cut flowers.

By Mark Skogen, on April 6th, 2010 Hugely Successful
Huge in that more than 200 Festival associates attended the three-day event, 39 of whom had never attended before. Successful in that we were able to offer a wider variety of workshops, speakers, and breakout sessions than in previous years.
