BEGONIAS PART 1: Quest Gets Involved with Capitola Begonia Festival!

Capitola, California is the original birthplace of the Pacific Begonia. This beautiful flower was the catalyst for the development of the historic Capitola Begonia Festival. The festival is a celebration of the begonia flower that has taken place every summer since the 1950's - it is a time for festivities, delicious foods, dance, music, and most importantly, float building!

Every year, ambitious float building teams gather to craft an amazing array of begonia-inspired floats for competition. The floats are judged based on 5 categories: theme development, originality of design, floral coverage, effective use of flowers, and showmanship. The winning float will be awarded a cash prize that may be donated to a charitable foundation or non-profit.

This year, Quest is very excited and appreciative to be the nominated as the non-profit recipient of any prize awarded to the float designed by the Hammer Family float-building team! If the Hammer Family float wins, Quest will create a scholarship to enable an international student to come to the United States to study. We are all very excited for this opportunity, and we're crossing our fingers for float prize domination!
