Castlegar's Communities in Bloom hosted the Bloomin' Christmas Planter Affair at Castlewood Village on Sunday afternoon.

"It's part of the Communities in Bloom program that is encouraging volunteers to participate in community activities," said CiB chair Darlene Kalawsky. "We are supporting the Winterfest celebrations that are coming up in a couple of weeks.  We just want to add a Christmas flavour to the downtown core."

Groups, businesses, organizations, friends and individuals were all invited to help create and decorate planters.

 

The planters will be judged by a celebrity panel from Nov. 22-25. Prizes and certificates will be awarded at Spirit Square on Dec. 2.
