Dear Community Leader:

Celebrating the 12th annual Spring Fever in the Garden festival on Saturday and Sunday, April 14 and 15, 2011, downtown Winter Garden will once again be transformed into a colorful landscape of unusual and exotic plants, flowers, trees and all-things-garden for sale by 100-plus vendors. Festival attendees will have an opportunity to participate in KidZone, an interactive learning and fun activities center for children of all ages; a Silent Auction of Art by local artists; a Birds of Prey Exhibit and an Ask the Experts Booth. Local artists will paint scenes depicting the activity of Spring Fever in the Garden – en plein air. Their works will be exhibited at the Winter Garden city hall throughout the summer. In addition, there will be raffle tickets for sale on prizes valued at hundreds of dollars including golf packages, spa treatments and restaurant dinners. Last year the estimated attendance was 35,000.

Spring Fever in the Garden is the major fund raising project for Bloom & Grow Garden Society, designated a non-profit. Bloom & Grow members are dedicated to community service projects that improve the West Orange and South Lake communities. During the last 13 years they have contributed over 600,000 hours of volunteer time for the community and generated more than $275,000 in cash donations and scholarships. Please see the Contributions to the Community insert included in this material and on our website, www.springfeveringarden.com.

We urge you to become a sponsor of our 12th annual Spring Fever in the Garden 2011 festival. Your support is even more critical in the current economic climate and will enable Bloom & Grow to continue to enrich the West Orange and South Lake Communities. Major sponsorship will also benefit your organization by placing you in the spotlight as a community service leader. Please visit our website, www.springfeveringarden.com to download a Sponsor Opportunity form, read a History of Bloom n' Grow Garden Society and read updated festival information.
