The Flower Festival

On April 15, the Annual Barbecue and Wildflower Festival was hosted at SCICON. Families from all over the county come for this traditionl event that has been taking place for almost 50 years Hundreds of species of wildflowers bloom all around the campus, giving one of the best spectacles I've ever seen.

The SCICON staff voluteered for guiding hikes and showing this natural wonder to the visitors . There were some exhibitions and musical performances, as well. The meal consisted, as every year, of a delicious deep pit barbecue. The dark side? Well, as uncommon as it usually is by this part of the world, the rain put in an appearance and soaked the enthusiastic participants. But when the heart is big, nothing can ruin a real party and flowers looked more lively than ever under the drops falling form the sky.
