Wistaria Event Draws Thousands to Sierra Madre By Bill Coburn
The 113-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. Sierra Madre Police Chief put the crowd at about 10,000, and noted that there were no incidents, two medical calls and two lost children, both of whom were returned to their parents in about ten minutes or so.
More than 200 volunteers helped coordinate the event, which also featured 18 live musical acts at five 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.
But the star of the show was the vine, which numerous veteran Wistaria watchers agreed looked the best it has looked in many years, certainly in the memory of those I spoke with. If you missed it this year, be sure to make your plans to attend next year.
