The contest was called “Show Your Bloomers” and the contest was very successful. Flowers and plants were everywhere, and judges from out of Millerstown arrived to evaluate and assign the awards for each of the categories that the committee had planned.--Prettiest Porch, Container Garden (Pots), Yards and Gardens, Doorways, Window Boxes, Original Design, Businesses, Churches, and Abstract Art. A different contest is planned again for next year with a Patriotic Theme Contest when the Millerstown residents can “Show their Bloomers” again to make Millerstown Proud! Many thanks to everyone who made Millerstown bloom this year and hoping that even more will get involved next year when Perry County is celebrating it's Bicentennial celebration. Thanks also to the appointed committee who planned the event; the volunteers met several times and made the plans for a highly successful event and escorted the judges around town to view the beautiful arrangements; needless to say, the judges had a difficult time to make the decisions for each category because there were so many participants.
