Wistaria Event Draws Thousands to Sierra Madre

By Bill Coburn

 

The 114-year old Wistaria vine was the main draw, but that didn’t stop thousands from perusing the booths of arts, crafts, jewelry, clothing and much more on Sunday. 

 

More than 200 volunteers helped coordinate the event, which also featured 23 live musical acts at seven outdoor venues, children’s activities such as a train, a bouncy house, rock climbing and a big inflatable slide.  Local non-profits and professional eateries supplied food, and a good time was had by all. 

 

If you missed it this year, be sure to make your plans to attend next year.
