Salute to Fuchsias Is County Fair Theme

The Orange County Fair promises to appeal to green thumbs this year with a salute to fuchsias and special plant contests.

In accordance with tradition, the floriculture and horticulture competition will offer a wide range of divisions featuring interior landscaping, floral arrangements, bouquets, patio and garden exhibits, houseplants and dish gardens.

The competitions also will move to a larger building to make room for more competitors. A division showcasing fuchsias will be added to accommodate the theme.

Information and entry forms will be available in mid-March by mail and at the fairgrounds in Costa Mesa, where the fair is scheduled for July 10-26.
