Sierra Madre Wistaria Festival 2001
Saturday, March 25, 2001

After months of preparation by the Wistaria Committee under the leadership of Chairperson Pam Kelly, the Wistaria Festival took place under cloudy skies on Saturday, March 25.  The town's population of just over 11,000 swelled by an estimated 10,000 people who came to see the world's biggest blooming plant, visit the arts/crafts booths, and enjoy shopping and dining in downtown Sierra Madre's business district.  Click on the thumbnails below to see a full size photo.
