MOUNT DORA, Fla. - illiNews -- The "Festival City" celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Mount Dora Plant and Garden Fair on November 9 and 10, 2019 in Donnelly Park.
Event originator Christine Cole has managed the event with partner Gene Packwood since its inception in the early 90's.
Christine says "I used to live in Baltimore and there is a festival there called Flower Mart. It was a beautiful event with vendors and all sorts of plants and flowers. It was held in the center of town and I just loved going to the event. "
"When I moved to Mount Dora some people approached me about having a plant sale and I said, 'Let's do this right' and so I started visiting nurseries and doing my homework and started the Mount Dora Plant and Garden Fair."
Twenty five years later, Cole is the longest continuous event stake holder in Mount Dora, FL.
This year she is getting some help from well known local festival coordinator Janet Gamache who's organizational skills helped get the Mount Dora Craft Fair ranked the #4 Craft Festival in the nation 2019 by Sunshine Artists Magazine.
