As if participating in the City of Boynton Beach Holiday Parade wasn’t rewarding enough, the BBGC garnered another reward: our entry won a plaque for Best Depiction of Life in Boynton Beach! 

In the beginning of January, Bonnie Paton, Chair of the Parade Event,  received an email from Gabriella Favita, Events Manager for the city, that we had won the award and she invited us to attend the January Boynton Beach Board of Commissioners Meeting to be recognized and receive the plaque. 

Deciding it was good public relations, a few of us attended. Luckily, the prizes were announced at the beginning of the meeting. When we were called forward for the photo op, we donned our bee antennae to receive the Best Depiction of Life in Boynton Beach Award from the commissioners. It really was a “feel good” moment. We were proud to represent Boynton Beach Garden Club.
