Fiesta, Flowers and Floats: El Desfile Histórico Puts Santa Barbara's Historical Flair on Parade

Parade.“When you are riding up the street, and there are so many people and little kids on the curb waving frantically and elderly people — it embodies La Presidenta Denise’s (Sanford) theme ‘Celebrate Traditions,'" said Vestal, who is this year’s honorary presidente. “You see families set up with food, their chairs and blankets, and you know it’s a big deal.“It’s cool to be on the inside, looking out and watching the rest of Santa Barbara celebrate traditions.” Horses and riders were among the hundreds of participants in Fiesta’s Historical Parade. (Fritz Olenberger photo / courtesy of Old Spanish Days) The enthusiasm extended beyond the performers. Crowd traditions included tossing cascarones (confetti-filled eggs) and shouting “Viva la Fiesta!”An estimated 37,600 spectators watched along the nearly two-mile parade route, according to Anthony Wagner, a Santa Barbara Police Department spokesman. The procession wrapped up shortly before 2 p.m.Sitting curbside with her family along the 1400 block of State Street, Santa Barbara native Raeleen Rodriguez said she enjoyed the parade views.“We enjoy crushing eggs and watching the parade,” said Rodriguez, a 30-year Santa Barbara resident. “The kids like the horses, and I like the music.”Setting up chairs early and putting blue tape on the concrete were key to Rodriguez’s prime viewing spot.“We set up yesterday so that we could have a spot today,” she said.The children’s parade, rodeo and mercados are among some of the Fiesta festivities on tap for Saturday and Sunday.— Noozhawk staff writer Brooke Holland can be reached at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

The Flower Bucket in Yarmouth County nurtures joy with flowers - TheChronicleHerald.ca

Benzakein. Fordham was inspired by the fact that someone was making a living from a flower farm and says she was hooked.“I started really loving arranging the flowers and creating designs. I’m not a florist but I just practiced and practiced. I started growing things that are good for cut flower production. Some flowers are better than others, they have longer vase lives than others.”She likes letting flowers do what they naturally want to do in a vase, instead of trying to control them. She says her mother was like that too. Fordham is also in her element when it comes to arranging material that’s in season locally.“If it’s in bloom and it looks beautiful and it’s going to last in a vase, then I’ll cut it. I’ll cut anything!” she laughs.“I drive around with snippers in my car (for wild material or cultivated, and cut with permission.) You never know what you’re going to see.”Each morning she visits the flowers on their property, cutting those that have reached perfection. These are placed in buckets of water for the day’s arrangements.She custom designs each bouquet according to the price point supplied by each customer, sometimes including plants like basil and mint for their fragrance.Last Christmas season she held a highly successful wreath making workshop. It’s something she plans on doing in other seasons, when she has time.“Everyone made their own and every creation was beautiful and original. There was Christmas music playing, hot cider, it was so much fun.”Fordham says this is The Flower Bucket’s first serious year as a business.She’s learning to accept failures along with success, when it comes to growing specific flowers.“I’m so new to all this and learning as I go. Maybe I won’t grow that flower there next time, or maybe I didn’t start it early enough. I’ve learned to focus on things that need my attention the most.”Once a week she walks her gardens and makes herself a bouquet for the week. “It’s my favourite thing to do on Sundays,” she says.The practice of giving flowers is a wonderful one, she adds, especially because of their finite lifespan.“We all have too much stuff. That’s why I love flowers. You can give flowers to somebody and they get to experience it for a couple of weeks and then it’s done. They don’t have to put it on their shelf somewhere and feel bad if they ever throw it away. It’s like eating food. You eat it and enjoy it and then it’s done.”How to contact The Flower BucketContact The Flower Bucket through FacebookOr InstagramOr by email... https://www.thechronicleherald.ca/business/local-business/the-flower-bucket-in-yarmouth-county-nurtures-joy-with-flowers-482841/
