We are delighted to announce that the Fairfield Beautification Commission has awarded Petal, the new florist shop in town, the prominent Rose Award for Excellence in Window Display. Cari Anderson recently purchased The Fairfield Flower Shop and has transformed it into Petal.
Petal was nominated for this prestigious award, earning recognition for their splendid spring and Easter window display. The storefront was decorated with pastel pink bunnies, springtime wreaths, colorful Easter eggs, tulips, and flowers in baskets all in celebration of springtime and Easter. The pink bunnies drew in passersby fostering a connection with the community to come in while adding to the lively atmosphere of Fairfield's downtown.
We congratulate Petal for this special award and encourage everyone to visit her store where Cari has brought to life her passion and connection with the community. You can also find exotic Dubai chocolates and many unique locally made products at Petal.
Visit Petal's Grand Opening on Friday, May 2 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. during art walk for an outdoor Carnival event featuring snow cones, cotton candy, clown making balloons, and your picture taken in a limo!
Petal will also be participating in Moms Mix & Mingle Ticket & Cup put on by Adela's for a Mother's Day event on May 10 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for a day of celebrating moms and women. Follow Petal on Facebook; Order online: petal641.com; Call: 641-472-5126.
